What I Live For
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.
So you say that this is it
You're just gonna leave
And take away all the little things that I need
Now wait just one minute
It's my life, babe and I want you in it
You are, baby, you are what I live for
Now sometimes I get bitter
But ain't that just like a man?
And sometimes I don't give all that I can
But your sweetness, baby, is what I crave
And this thing we've got, I'd like to save
You are, baby, you are what I live for
I know that everything
Can't always go as planned
But baby, baby, baby, I'm holdin' out my hand
So take a hold and come on in
The cold outside got me shiverin'
You are, baby, you, you are what I live for now
