I'll Fight for You
Foreigner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm turning to you, when love is on my mind
You're all I want, woman, and love's so hard to find
I know that I hurt you, and I know that I was wrong
But I want you back, back where you belong

And I won't give you up, no I won't walk away
I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray
You'll forgive me someday

I'll fight for you, I'll give you all I got to give
I'll fight for you, as long as we both should live
I'll search for heaven each day
And together, we'll find a way
And I'll fight for you darlin'
I'll fight for you baby, cause I've waited too long for love

You're all of my life, and every time I look at you
I keep tellin' myself, you're the one thing I just can't lose
Our love runs so deeply, can't you feel it in your heart
'Cause girl we've got something, that no one can tear apart

I'm tellin' you now, this love, it just can't be wrong
Oh, it can't be wrong
And I won't give you up 'cause I've waited too long
Oh, I've waited too long for love

I'll fight for you, I'll give you all I got to give
I'll fight for you, as long as we should live
I'll search for heaven each day
And together, we'll find a way




And I'll fight for you darlin'
I'll fight for you

@KnightSirLancelot

Well said exactly, seen an appearance when he came at a tribute to sing and wasn't treated or accepted well by the crowd. It was appalling as he'd been sick, changed his ability and voice.
I've searched for this, and great singer but still can't figure out who this guy is?

@rockyortego7598

My dad is the dude in the yellow do rag at around 1:40 riding his Harley. This was filmed in Homestead, FL.

@nelsonr2753

Great video. Would you know their Names ( Main girl, Johnny Eduards opponent and the Bikers? ) I wonder where They are Now ! this story reminds me of mine, fighting( not with fists!) for the woman I love, was similar to me 🙂. Homestead is such a beautiful place, wish to go and visit one day 😊

@@nelsonr2753 Not the main characters, mostly actors, but personally knew almost all the bikers. Ziggy, Tad, Pistol Pete, Big Jim, Buster, Needles n Tracy, TomC to name a few. All members of Dade County ABATE at the time. Including myself but I wasn't in the video. Hurricane Andrew hit a year or so after and many left the area.
