Original Jackie Wilson version
Your love, lifted me higher
Than I've ever been lifted before
So keep it up, quench my desire
And I'll be at your side forever more
You know your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Listen, now once I was downhearted
Disappointment was my closest friend
But then you came and it soon departed
And you know he never showed his face again
That's why your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Alright
[Instrumental interlude]
Woo woo-woo-woo
I'm so glad I finally found you
Yes that one in a million girl
And now with my loving arms around you
Honey, I can stand up and face the world
Let me tell you, your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting (love keeps lifting me)
Higher (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
And I said your love (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on (love keeps lifting me)
Lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
Come on, now sock it to me (lifting, lifting, lifting)
Come on, lift me up woman (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep my love going now (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
I said keep on lifting (lifting, lifting, lifting)
Lift me up mama (your love keeps lifting me)
Keep on lifting me (lifting me)
Higher and higher (higher)
[Fades out]
