    LYRICS:
    Some people tell me that love is a feeling
    Or a possession
    Somehow it seems so cold
    And when they say love is sweet
    Does it mean that you eat it?
    Maybe you drink it
    Does it fill up an empty hole?
    I'm lookin' for a love and I may not find it
    You know it doesn't mean a thing
    Without some action behind it
    Please come home
    I can hear them calling
    Please come home
    Please don't leave us all alone
    Your mama and your papa are crying all alone
    You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
    'Til we get the true version of
    The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
    What does it mean to love?
    And when somebody needs love
    Do they spend some money?
    Say something funny
    Ask for some tenderness?
    And when you want to touch of love
    Do you lie on your back?
    Stand on your head
    How do you feel it best?
    I'm looking for a love with no strings attached
    To take me like I am, that's the only catch
    Please come home
    I can hear them calling
    Please come home
    Please don't leave us all alone
    Your wife and your lover are crying all alone
    You better let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
    'Til we learn the true version of
    The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
    Does it mean any more
    The more you talk about it
    Is it anymore real
    If you jump around and shout it
    I'm sick and tired of hearing
    'bout everyone without it and
    Too much talkin' sends me walkin'
    Night is falling and everybody's calling for love
    Everybody's lookin' for their one and only
    It's only just a game 'cause they're scared to be lonely
    Please come home
    I can hear them calling
    Please come home
    Please don't leave us all alone
    Your brothers and your sisters are crying all alone
    You got let it magnetize, learn to sacrifice
    'Til we get the true version of
    The meaning of the verb 'To Love'
    What does it mean to love?

    WOW Todd was/is A WIZARD A TRUE STAR. Sooooooo underated and perhaps one of the most beautiful and long range voices in rock history. I miss the 70’s sooooo much ! I Transport myself back by closing my eyes and remembering as tears roll down my face 😢Thanks for the wonderful memories TODD

    Todd and his backup bands were always big medicine here in Cleveland, OH. To us oldsters, that still holds true. The lyrics, vocals, the harp, and the keys are incredible. Talk about "blue-eyed soul" -- this one's got a truck full! Todd is just incredible! I dedicate this amazing tune to clear/starry nights and knowing that we are loved -- more than we could ever know.

      It’s on my list to be played when I die. May be morbid but I’m 62 and not in good health. I want people to remember me for being a loving person. This song sums it up
