I love the ocean on a peaceful morning
I love the freedom of a single man
I love the woman who just drives me crazy
I just can t help it that s the way I am

I don t like war
I don t like politicians
Don t like the one who has an angry hand
I don t like guns
I don t like nuclear missiles
Don t like the one who doesn t give a damn

It s all right, it s all right
We can make love, we can fight
It s all right, it s all right
We can make love, we can fight
We can make love

I love the Lord
I love the little people
I love the one who is a gentle man
I love the rivers in the Rocky Mountains
I just can t help it that s the way I am

I ve been to Boston and I ve been to China
I ve been around the world and back again
I ve got a hunger that just keeps me running
I just can t help it that s the way I am

It s all right, it s all right
We can make love, we can fight
It s all right, it s all right
We can make love, we can fight
We can make love
