Don Tomlinson wrote or co-wrote every song on this website and without generative AI involvement. Every song on this website is the product of its original sound recording having been uploaded to an AI music site solely for purposes of changing the singer, updating the production, and sometimes even adding another genre (with lyrics unchanged and with melody changed only slightly when, for example, necessary to accommodate the different genre). Virtually all companies in the music licensing industry require all songs they license to have been 100% human written. All songs on this website were 100% human written. For comparison and other purposes, almost all the original sound recordings of these songs may be heard at www.solidsterlingmusic.com.

Lyrics

VERSE
I did my share of dating; found the right one
Fell in love, I thought, but we were one and done
And lo and behold, look what I found

PRE-CHORUS
Now the second time through, I want to be real sure

CHORUS
(That) (I hope) I know what love is and what it’s not
I don’t want to be fooled again; oh, that was pretty tough
I want to know I’ve hit love’s jackpot
As to me and him right now, I sure hope it’s love

SOLO/VERSE
How you realize when it’s love, that’s the thing
It’s good to know before trading wedding rings
Wish there was a machine, oh, that would let you know
But it’s the heart, my friend, not a binary yes or no

Repeat CHORUS/BRIDGE
Now, as it happens, the more I’m with him
My heart is taking control

SOLO/Repeat CHORUS/TAG
Okay, heart, you win; it’s love
