Born To Love You
Ben & Ellen Harper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was thinking just the other day
Of something I've been trying to say
But I couldn't find the way
To tell you I was born to love you

Some born to lose
Some born to win
They say we're all born into sin
That's a hard way to begin
But I was born to love you

Some come in with a burden
Heavy hearted and hurting
Who's unworthy who's deserving
But I was born to love you

Some made for days some made for nights
Some to stand up for what's right
No matter how hard the fight
I was born to love you

I love you
I live you
I love to live you
I live to love you





I was born to love you
