Do It For Your Love
Each single day i get up and make my way
And it all comes into view
It's like a part in a play
You can turn it around in so many different ways
But it's still the part you play
And so to you i dedicate
This role they have handed me

And i will do it for your love

Down in the street you can win or lose
To that crazy beat
But you'll never change the tune
'cos the tune is the song
And song is the game of life, we just come and go
But we can laugh and we can bend
Together though, me and you

So i will do it for your love

Look around, see that you see
There's no sense in being so blue
Now i've got to have a reason for seeing this out
Other than seeing it through





So i will do it for your love

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chris Rea’s “Do It For Your Love” speaks about dedicating oneself to something, perhaps a person, and striving towards it every single day. The first few lines of the song mention the daily routine, but adds that despite having to go through the same things every day, it’s all worth it because of the reason behind it. The singer then expresses his dedication to this thing, or person, he is referring to - the role that has been handed to him. He may have no choice in the matter but he will do it for the love that brought him there.


The second verse seems to encapsulate the unpredictable nature of life, in that one can win or lose but there’s nothing that changes the tune because the tune is the song, and the song is the game of life. Life can be fleeting, and one can come and go but with a partner, whether that be a lover, family or a friend, they can laugh and bend together. The last verse encourages the listener to look around and see that there’s no sense in remaining blue; perhaps there’s a reason for seeing things through, other than just seeing it through. It’s this reason that the singer strives towards and dedicates himself to every day, and he will do it for the love that brought him to this point.


Overall, the song has a lovely message to it. The idea of being dedicated to something, whether it be a person, a passion, or a cause, is something that resonates with listeners. The idea that one can persist through something for reasons beyond just seeing it through is also a lovely sentiment.

Each single day i get up and make my way
Every day, I wake up and start my journey


And it all comes into view
Everything becomes clearer


It's like a part in a play
Life feels like a role in a theatrical performance


You can turn it around in so many different ways
There are various ways to approach life

On the streets, there are victories and defeats

Because destiny is life itself


And song is the game of life, we just come and go

Something beyond simply finishing it to the end


So i will do it for your love
So, I will live my life for you
