Everyone has so many material things. Love gets lost in the mix. This is NOT a ballad. It's fun, energetic, and kinda cool.

That's Galen Breen in the picture there...

All We Really Need Is Love

We got a Lincoln Navigator that sits in the driveway
And a Mercedes Benz for when we hit the highway
Five bed-rooms and a king-size pool
Extravagant clothes and expensive jewels

But I’m bored to death with keepin’ up with the Jones’
(And) I’m tired of livin’ on these tiny cell-phones

Chorus:
(Let’s get/Gettin’) back to the fundamentals
(Strip/Strippin’) down to the bare essentials
All we really need is love
Let’s let go of the superficial
Cut back and reach our full potential
All we really need is love
Yeah, all we really need is love

We’ve been working so hard that we’ve forgotten each other
As soon as one day ends then along comes another
We’ve got all this material stuff
Ain’t it funny that it’s never enough

We keep on adding to our bottom line
When we oughta be spendin’ more time

(repeat chorus)

bridge:
It can’t be all that complicated
It sure came easy when we dated

(repeat chorus)

That’s all… That’s all we need
That’s all… That’s all we need… fade
