Mamma isn't happy I'm not coming home
'Cause I spent all my money just to see you
Sold all my things, gave away my clothes
I know that I won't need them with you
'Cause love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
All of my friends think that I'm crazy
Trading in my life for you
But I'm convinced that they have never felt this way
It's like floating on a cloud inside my childhood bedroom
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
All my old flames have been abandoned
No more time to waste on stand-ins
'Cause I'm aware of a higher power's hand in
The making of us
Love is precious like a diamond
And I've been blessed enough to find it
Now I am just a humble worshiper
Of love
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know, 'cause I know, 'cause I know
Love is my religion
No matter where I'm livin'
I drop it all and give in
To the power of your love
I know that there's no stoppin'
Once the beat of my heart drops in
All my worries are forgotten
'Cause I know that you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, you're the one
You and I made a heaven
Proved that God is all of us
And I'm so grateful every day I'm alive
To have known your love
