lyrics
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby, let's start today, come on baby, let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love
(Love, love)
It started long ago in the Garden of Eden
When Adam said to Eve, baby, you're for me
So come on baby, let's start today, come on baby, let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love
(Love, love)
Come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby, let's start today, come on baby, let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love
(Love, love)
Yeah
Oh yeah
Well, come on baby 'cause the time is right
Love your daddy with all your might
Put your arms around me, hold me tight
Play the game of love
The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on baby, let's start today, come on baby, let's play
The game of love, love, la la la la la love
(Love, love)
The game of love baby, the game of la la la la love
The game of love baby, the game of la la la la love
The game of love baby
I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I
could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs....more
I've jammed with this guy and have heard this band live. They play with all their soul and it shows--you can hear it as well as feel the music. The Santairs
