does anyone know this song? i believe it goes back to the 60s but i could be wrong?

Question

when i was growing up there was a radio station that played oldies well into the night and i used to listen all the time. they played this song a lot, but i never heard it anywhere else. anyway, a bunch of years ago, the station went off the air and i never could identify the song. i assumed it was called "in the name of love" but though there are a million with that name, I never could find this one. this is what i remember of the lyrics:

people try to create feelings just the same as love
in the name of love
in the name of love
for the sake of silly passion make a game of love
in the name of love
in the name of love
jumping up and down on pure emotion
there's a better way to win my heart
cause there really ain't no feeling quite the same as love
in the name of love

they may call the sacrifices for the sake of love
what they make of love
that old heartbreak of love
when there ain't no giving in the give and take of love
put the blame on love
in the name of love

in the name of love is the right song, but... it was a man singing in the version i remember. any ideas?
