Lyrics:
Your love, lifting me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up
Quench my desire
And I'll be at your side, forever more

You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)

Now listen

Now once, I was down hearted
Disappointment, was my closest friend
But then you, came and it soon departed
And you know he never
Showed his face again

That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)

I'm so glad, I've finally found you
Yes that one, in a million girls
And I whip, my loving arms around you
Honey I can stand up, and face the world

Let me tell ya, your love (your love keeps lifting me)

Now sock it to me
Hold me, ... the other woman
Keep my heart going
Higher and higher
I said keep on lifting
Lift me up mama
Keep on lifting me
Higher and higher
