(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get stones from a rock, you´ve got to break it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To get bread from dough, you´ve got to bake it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get water from a faucet, you´ve got to turn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You´ve got to earn it (Earn it, earn it, earn it)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

To get fire from a match, you´ve got to strike it
(Strike it, strike it, strike it, strike it)
To get the feeling from a kiss, you´ve got to like it
(Like it, like it, like it, like it)

To get ashes from wood, you´ve got to burn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You´ve got to earn it(Earn it, earn it, earn it)

You´ve got to treat me kind, all the time
Throw the other guys right out of your mind.
(Yeah, yeah)

[Instrumental]

Now listen

To make broken things work, you´ve got to fix them
(Fix them, fix them, fix them, fix them)
To make two things one, you´ve got to mix them
(Mix them, mix them, mix them, mix them)

To get butter from milk, you´ve got to churn it
And if you want my love, if you want my love
You´ve got to earn it(Earn it, earn it, earn it)

If you deserve it you can get it
I´ll be glad to see you with it
Just show me that you love me
And that you´re thinking of me
You can get it in a hurry...
