Song Lyrics

I'm aware of love
At last, I'm aware of love'

I asked my papa not long ago
Now 'What is love' and he said,
'Hello, you have to find out for yourself,
You cannot learn from somebody else'
And someday you'll be aware of love,
I'd say someday if you live long enough
You'll be aware of love'

Auh, but I was anxious and couldn't wait
And every little girl I took on a date
Told her that I really, really loved her
Vowed I'd never ever love another
But found it was just puppy love
I said I found yes, I did' yes, I did
It was just puppy love'

Auh, but like papa told me one day I met you
I knew right then girl I had to get you
Took you in my arms and really kissed you
When you went away child
You know I missed you

And I, I'm aware of love
At last I have found true love'

Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Butler
