verse 1
Two young people without a thing
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love.
Say some vows and spread their wings
And settle down with just what they need
Livin' on love.
verse 2
She don't care 'bout what's in style
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love.
She just likes the way he smiles
It takes more than marble and tile
Livin' on love.
chorus
Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin' on love.
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin' on love.
post-chorus
It sounds simple, that's what you're thinkin'
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love.
But love can walk through fire without blinkin'
It doesn't take much when you get enough
Livin' on love.
--- Instrumental Interlude ---
verse 3
Two old people without a thing
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin' on love.
Children gone but still they sing
Side by side in that front porch swing
Livin' on love.
verse 4
He can't see anymore
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Just livin' on love.
She can barely sweep the floor
Hand in hand they'll walk through that door
Just livin' on love.
chorus
Livin' on love, buyin' on time
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin' on love.
Without somebody nothing ain't worth a dime
Just like an old fashion story book rhyme
Livin' on love.

It sounds simple that's what you're thinkin'

About"Livin' on Love" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer Alan Jackson. It was released in August 1994 as the second single from his album Who I Am?. In late 1994, it became his ninth Number One hit on the Billboard country charts. It also reached number one on the Bubbling Under Hot 100.
The song describes a couple who are "livin' on love". In the first verse, they are "two young people without a thing", while throughout the song they age, still in love with each other.
Thom Jurek of Allmusic described the song favorably, calling it "a mid-tempo honky tonker with killer fiddle, telecasters chopping up the middle, and lyrics that make its sentimental subject matter palatable." Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B+ grade, calling it "so catchy, so charming, and so full of little funny details." He goes on to say that he forgives Jackson for "ripping off 'Two Sparrows in a Hurricane' so blatantly."
The music video was directed by Piers Plowden and premiered in mid-1994.
