GIVE ME THAT OLD SCHOOL LOVE

Give me that old school love

When love songs had meaning

When love was love

When passion was alive

Give me that old school love

When going out didn't mean getting drunk

When the dance floor was fun

And the groove was pure

Give me that old school love

When men were gentlemen

When fathers held their home together

And being a man meant being a person of honour

Give me that old school love

When wives were wives

Women were full of character 

And motherhood was a noble responsibility

Give me that old school love

When love was real whether you have money or not

When marriage was respected

And sponsors were not celebrated

Give me that old school love

When smart phones didn't distract us

And people sat at the family table

Looking at each other and not a phone screen

Give me that old school love

When people's words were their bond

When families were strong

And neighbors were a call a way

Give me that old school love

When sex wasn't the main agenda

Affairs were not easy to have

And people actually worked to keep love safe

Give me that old school love

When romance was genuine

Families would go for picnics on weekends

And God was revered

Give me that old school love

When conversations were rich 

And small talk was unheard of

When home was stress free

Give me that old school love

No matter how much we advance in technology

The need for love in humans never dies

Love never runs out of fashion
