Living in the heart of love
Living in the heart of love
We're living in the heart of love
We're living in the heart of love
Friends don't laugh, my friend's going to tease me
Said I'm might get all kinds of disease
I may suffer, ooh I'll sigh
'Cause I never get to sleep at night
Living in the heart of love
Living in the heart of love
Well living is the power to love
Loving is the power to live
I'm trying so hard to be your baby
I'm trying so hard to be your lover
I'm trying so hard to be your baby
I'm trying so hard
Living, yeah
Living, yeah
Giving is a part of love
Living without a love
You can keep your gold, yeah, keep your treasure
I was only born just to give you pleasure
Loving is a living, much more funny
You're wasting your time, boy, piling up your money
I've got the patience of Job, little girl
But I ain't waiting for the sky to fall
Well I've played dirty, I've played clean
But I'll be down, I'll be mean - oh yes
I'm working so hard to be your baby
I'm working so hard to be your lover
I'm working so hard to be your baby
I work so hard - yeah
I work so hard
Uh huh
Living in the heart of love
Living in the heart of love
Living is a heart of love
Living is life enough
Living
Living, yeah
Living - oh
Living, yeah
Living in the heart of love
Living in the heart of love - yeah
We're living in the heart of love
We're living in the heart of love - yeah
We're living, yeah
We're living, yeah
Well living is the power to love
Loving is the power to live
Living is the power to love
Loving is the power to live - ow
Living is the power to love
Loving is the power to live
Oh...
Is the power of love - ah
Ah, oh - oh yeah

TrackTalk
Living
in the Heart of Love, that was almost done. I didn't have
to hardly do anything to that. Ronnie did some extra solos. All
the vocals were done, the lyrics were done.
- Mick Jagger, September
2021
I had trouble with Living in the Heart of Love at first
(when Mick sent me the recording). Because to me it was still an
unfinished work and I said, Ah, I'll never finish it. But
then when I heard it back - Mick talked me into it (laughs). And
then I got it and I said, Yeah, I understand.
