Do It for Love Songtext
von Holly Johnson

The times that I′ve tried to explain
When you would rather I refrain
From loving you the way I do
I was designed with you in mind
I'd laugh at all your jokes
Pretend to listen when you spoke
Wonder at your new inventions
Everything with good intentions

I have to admit, I′m doing it for love
To tell the truth, I do it for you, love
But what's the use? I do it for love

I want more than all you've got
You think I′m someone that I′m not
I sat silent while you cried
The things you said, the way you lied
Maybe I just need the money
What's wrong with that? It′s just not funny
The things that I've been through
The tears I′ve shed just loving you


I have to admit, I'm doing it for love
To tell the truth, I do it for you, love
But what′s the use? I do it for love

The streets are teeming outside
I'm here if you're satisfied
I put my hand on your mouth to shut you up
Kiss me ′til I′ve had enough
There's no one else I can trust, but you

Love has all the answers
Secret words and backward glances
I′ll jump through hoops of fire
Anything that you desire

I have to admit, I'm doing it for love
To tell the truth, I do it for you, love
But what′s the use? I do it for love
I have to admit, I'm doing it for love
To tell the truth, I do it for you, love
But what′s the use? I do it for love
I have to admit, I'm doing it for love
To tell the truth, I do it for you, love
But what's the use? I do it for love
