Baby, when I met you, there was peace unknown
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was somethin' goin' on

You do something to me that I can't explain
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something goin' on

Tender love is blind, it requires a dedication
All this love we feel needs no conversation
We ride it together, uh-uh
Makin' love with each other, uh-uh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between; how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh-uh
From one lover to another, uh-uh

I can't live without you if the love was gone
Everything is nothing if you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losin' sight of the real thing (yeah, the real thing, yeah)

But that won't happen to us and we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing

No more will you cry, baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one in love forever
We can ride it together, uh-uh
Makin' love with each other, uh-uh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between; how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh-uh
From one lover to another, uh-uh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between; how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh-uh
From one lover to another, uh-uh

Islands in the stream, that is what we are
No one in between; how can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, uh-uh
From one lover to another, uh-uh
