I take what I want,
And I got my eye on you
It's late in the evening
What are you gonna do

I got the place,
If you got the time,
I got the motion, baby,
If you got the mind

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your load, down the long, winding road

All I'm asking, all I want to do is just
Put a little love in your heart,
Put a little love in your heart

I know what I want,
And it's close to the bone
Sooner or later, baby,
I'll be taking you home

You got the cool,
But, you give me the heat
You got the music, baby,
But, you give me the beat

So wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love,
Down the long, winding road

All I'm asking, all I want to do is just
Put a little love in your heart

Wise man tell me
What it means to give and take,
It's double trouble,
But, it can ease a little heartache

So you can carry your load
Down the long, winding road
Carry your love
Down the long, winding road
You got to carry your load
Down the long, winding road
