Josh Heinrichs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby I dont know how many times I tried to tell you how I feel
But we just keep on moving along, despite how we feel

Oh but girl I try oh I try
Just to be full of love for you
Cause you know I would do anything just to have your love
I would do anything for your love
I would do anything just to have your love

Well you know Im not a sophisticated man at all
I′ll carry your water from the lands of where my forefathers laid hands
But if you want more, well ya know I gladly oblige ya
For I can wine with ya, for I can dine with ya
Well you know with all of the above plus what you've been thinking of
Cause I would do anything for your love
For your love Im wanting to sing and wanting to shout
With a joy, with a laughter, with a joy no doubt
Cause I just want to know, Im willing to dance
Baby give me one more chance

Oh but girl I try oh I try
Just to be full of love for you
Cause you know I would do anything just to have your love

I would do anything for your love
I would do anything just to have your love
