Loving You’s a Dirty Job (But Somebody’s Gotta Do It) Songtext
von Bonnie Tyler with Todd Rundgren

There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
When the sky is falling
And you′re looking round for somewhere to hide
Did you ever call out to someone?
Did you ever call out to me?
I've never been gone, I′ve been right here by your side
There ain't nothing but clouds
There ain't nothing but clouds in your eyes
Why don′t you believe me when you finally found the truth?
You′ve been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth
Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most?
You′re so busy trying to get even
You never even try to get close
I can't explain it away
It doesn′t make any sense
To know what it's like
I guess you′ve gotta' go through it
I guess you've gotta′ go through it
I guess you′ve gotta' go through it


It doesn′t matter baby
Loving you's a dirty job
But somebody′s gotta' do it
There were times when we′d never fake it
There were times when we'd always make it
There were times when we'd take it to the limit
And we′d never, never, ever leave each other alone
We were flesh and blood and bone
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
There were times when we took our chances
There were times we were damn good dancers
There were times when we had all the answers
In the beating of the drummer & the riches of the rock & the roll
I can see right through your soul
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
If your fears can only be forgotten
We can pull all the barriers down
Would you folow your dreams desire?
Would you follow your secret dreams & forbidden fire?
Let′s just peel out of this town
It's been nothing but dreams
It′s been nothing but dreams until now
You're never gonna′ see it
You've got your head stuck in the sand
It′s the land of the free and easy streets
It's the home of the damned
You're never gonna′ see it
You better open up your eyes
You′re the only one who's left
Who′s gonna' believe all your lies
I can′t explain it away
It doesn't make any sense
To know what it′s like
I guess you've gotta' go through it
I guess you′ve gotta′ go through it
I guess you've gotta′ go through it
It doesn't matter baby
Loving you′s a dirty job
But somebody's gotta′ do it
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can't stop missing
There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding, of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
There were times when we faught like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
There were times we extinguished every fire
That was burning, burning, burning up each other alive
From the heavens all down to the dives
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it all
There were times when we faught like tigers
There were times we were damn good liars
There were times when our bodies glistened
There were times that we can′t stop missing
There were times that we′d lay in bed and listen
To the pounding, pounding of our desperate hearts
Nothing could have torn us apart
There were times we had it all
There were times we had it... All
