La música siempre estuvo presente en la vida de Dionne Warwick.

Strike up the band
When he walks in the room
He's got a smile
That can light up the Moon
All of the girls stop to give him the eye
All of the guys hope he'll walk on way
He thinks he knows it all
Thinks he never bothers, I know
It's love
I can tell by the way
That he's looking at me
It's love
I can feel when we dance
He doesn't want to let me go
But he doesn't really know
Oh, it's love
I can tell by the way
That he's holding my hand
It's love
I can see in his eyes
He doesn't really understand
He's always gonna be my man
'Cause it's love
And when we touched
For the very first time
Somehow I knew
He was gonna be mine
Think of the days that he wasted before
'Cause I'm the one he's been waiting for
He doesn't know it now
But he will somehow 'cause I know
It's love
I can tell by the way
That he's looking at me
It's love
I can feel when we dance
He doesn't want to let me go
But he doesn't really know
Oh, it's love
I can tell by the way
That he's holding my hand
It's love
I can see in his eyes
He doesn't really understand
He's always gonna be my man
'Cause it's love
He's been so uncertain
Looking for a sign
He's never had the real thing
But this time
It's love
I can tell by the way
That he's looking at me
It's love
I can feel when we dance
He doesn't want to let me go
But he doesn't really know
Oh, it's love
I can tell by the way
That he's holding my hand
It's love
I can see in his eyes
He doesn't really understand
He's always gonna be my man
