I LIVE FOR YOU

People ask me what I do
Will I live the life I'm given to
And I live my life just where I choose
And where I live is close to you

I live a little
I live a lot
We're all the same
But then we're not
No matter what the experts say is true
I live for love
I live for you

You
You
I live for you

Alt The world keeps turning
I wonder why
But I'll keep living
Or else I'll die

I live for you
I live for you
You
You
I live for you

Alt The world keeps turning
And I wonder why
But I'll keep living
Or else I'll die

I don't know how long I'll live
But all I've got is what I give
So if you're asking what I do
I live for you

You
You
I live for you
I live for you

You
You
I live for you




I live for you
I live for you
