Lyrics
The Things We Do For Love
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Oh, you made me love you
Oh, you've got a way
Oh, you had me crawling up the wall
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Oh, you made me love you
Oh, you've got a way
Oh, you had me crawling up the wall
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise
Of the things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
The things we do for love (the things we do for love)
