Living For You
Sonny Cher Lyrics

The summer flowers are waiting
The plants and flowers in the summer are ready and eagerly waiting to bloom.

The birds are made for mating
It is natural for birds to mate during this season.

A bee was pollinating
A bee was going from flower to flower, gathering pollen which is essential for plant reproduction.

And I was calculating
I was thinking and strategizing on what I should do next.

Like a silly fool
I felt foolish for dwelling on my thoughts.

Wondering what to do
I was unsure of what action I should take.

I played the part of a queen
I acted as if I was in control and that I had everything figured out.

Sitting up on a throne
I was on a higher pedestal than everyone else around me.

I had lots of guys
I had many men interested in me.

But no one I wanted to call my own
However, I wasn't interested in any of them as a potential partner.

Deep down inside
Despite my outward appearance, I felt the same as others do regarding love and finding your partner.

I felt the same as you
I had the same fears and doubts as others when it comes to love and relationships.

Wondering to wondering to
I was unsure and doubting myself, going from one anxious thought to the next.

Wondering if it happens
I was questioning whether or not true love and finding your soulmate really does exist.

Like it happens to millions before
I wondered if falling in love was just a common occurrence and nothing special or unique.

I took one look at your face
When I saw your face for the first time, I was immediately drawn to you and wanted to see more.

I wanted to see it some more
I was captivated and drawn to you and wanted to know more about you.

And I tried playing it cool
I attempted to hide my true feelings and keep my cool despite being drawn to you.

Baby I knew that
I knew with certainty that you were special and different from anyone else.

I couldn't live without you
I realized that I couldn't imagine my life without you in it.

I ran right home
I was so eager to see you again that I rushed right home.

And I wrote a song all about you
I was so inspired by you that I wrote a song dedicated to you.

Nothing like this
This experience was entirely new and different from anything I had ever gone through before.

Had ever happened to me before
I had not experienced anything like this before in my life.

I was afraid but I knew
I was scared and uncertain, but I knew that I wanted to see you again.

I had to see you once more
I felt an intense desire to see you again and know more about you.

My minutes turn to hours
Time passed quickly when I was around you, and moments with you felt like they lasted longer.

My hours turn into days
Days spent without you felt longer, and I longed for moments with you.

My road ahead got straighter
My path forward became more apparent and more comfortable after meeting you.

I exited my maze
I no longer felt lost or unsure and knew where I was headed.

And I did something new
I took a chance and tried something different for me.

I started living for you
I began putting my focus and energy towards you and our relationship, and it became my top priority.
