It was released in March 1979 as the second single from the album "The Two and Only".

The Bellamy Brothers Your Love Flow", written by Diamond's roadie Larry Williams. Released in 1976, "Let Your Love Flow" was a No. 1 single on the United States pop charts, as well as more than a dozen countries worldwide. Although "Let Your Love Flow" was also a hit on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, the Bellamys' country music success was limited until 1979, when "If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me" was released. The song, whose "double entendre" title was derived from a Groucho Marx quote, landed the Bellamys their first country music No.
