Lyrics

The words I have to say
May well be simple but they're true
Until you give your love
There's nothing more that we can do

Love is the opening door
Love is what we came here for
Noone can offer you more
You know what I mean
Have your eyes really seen?

VERSE
  You say you find it hard
  To lead the life that we once knew
  But there's no other way
  So now it's really up to you

CHORUS (x2)
  Love is the key we must turn
  Truth is the flame we must burn
  Freedom the lesson we must learn
  Do you know what I mean?
  Have your eyes really seen?

VERSE

CHORUS (x2)

Cha, cha, cha, cha, cha, cha

• Bowie's version of this song has never been officially released. It appears on early bootlegs, in particular a version recorded during a session on December 26th, 1968 which appears on Letter To Hermione. (Note: On this version, the last two minutes appear to just be a bootlegger's replay of the preceding two minutes).
• This song was covered by Elton John on his Tumbleweed album.
