Starting today
Let's take this vow
We gotta change things
Right here and now
Can't let our love
I promise to never let you down, no
Every night
I pray
Wishing tomorrow's a better day
It's gotta be for us
There's no denying
I'd rather fight
Or die trying
It's gotta be for love
No time for games
Let's get to loving
Time will ease the pain
It's gotta be for us
Yeah
Remember you said we deserve to be free (we deserve to be free), yeah
And if things don't get better then we should just leave (we should leave, oh), yeah
Truth is without us
Life ain't complete, yeah
Baby, let's build together unselfishly (oh)
Every night
I pray
Wishing tomorrow's a better day
It's gotta be for us
There's no denying
I'd rather fight (I'd rather fight)
Or die trying
It's gotta be for love
No time for games
Let's get to loving
Time will ease the pain (love)
It's gotta be for us (gotta be for us)
Yeah, yeah-yeah
Gotta be for us
Love I can spend fighting for
Gotta be for us
No time for games, yeah
Gotta be for us
Gotta be for us
Look in my eyes
Do you believe me? (do you believe?)
If we got each other that's all that we need (oh, that's all we need), oh
No more turning back
As we proceed, yeah
Let's build a love for the whole world to see
Gotta be
It's gotta be for us
There's no denying (there's no denying)
I'd rather fight (I'd rather fight)
Or die trying
It's gotta be for love (yeah, yeah)
No time for games (no time for games)
Let's get to loving (loving, loving, loving, oh)
Time will ease the pain
It's gotta be for us
Look in my eyes (look in my eyes)
Gotta be for us
Do you believe, baby?
Gotta be for us
Gotta be for us
Gotta be for us
You gotta be leaving, yeah, ooh-ooh
