Living For You
Sonny and Cher Lyrics

The summer flowers are waiting
The environment is pleasant and inviting, but I have yet to find my true purpose.

The birds are made for mating
Other living creatures follow their natural instincts, but I am lost and unsure of what I want.

A bee was pollinating
The world around me is filled with activity, but I feel like I am not making any progress.

And I was calculating
I am constantly thinking about my path in life and what I need to do to find happiness.

Like a silly fool
I realize that my worries and doubts may seem trivial, but they consume me nonetheless.

Wondering what to do
I am lost and uncertain of my future.

I played the part of a queen
I acted confident and in control, but I was really just pretending.

Sitting up on a throne
I thought I was above everyone and everything, but I was really just trying to hide my insecurities.

I had lots of guys
I had plenty of options for romantic partners, but none of them felt right for me.

But no one I wanted to call my own
Despite having several suitors, I still felt lonely and unfulfilled.

Deep down inside
Beneath my confident facade, I was just as lost and uncertain as ever.

I felt the same as you
Despite our outward differences, I could sense that you were also searching for something more in life.

Wondering to wondering to
We were both lost and unsure of our direction in life.

Wondering if it happens
I questioned whether true love and happiness were possible for someone like me.

Like it happens to millions before
I wondered if I would ever experience the kind of love and passion that so many others have already found.

I took one look at your face
When I met you, I felt an instant connection and attraction.

I wanted to see it some more
I knew that I needed to spend more time with you and get to know you better.

And I tried playing it cool
I didn't want to come on too strong and scare you away, so I tried to appear calm and collected.

Baby I knew that
Despite my reservations, I could not deny the strong feelings I had for you.

I couldn't live without you
I realized that I needed you in my life and could not imagine being without you.

I ran right home
I was so excited and energized by my feelings for you that I had to act immediately.

And I wrote a song all about you
I channeled my emotions into my art and created something beautiful that reflected my love for you.

Nothing like this
I had never felt such intense emotions before and was amazed by how much you had changed my life.

Had ever happened to me before
Meeting you was a transformative experience that had a profound impact on my life.

I was afraid but I knew
Despite my fears and uncertainties, I knew that being with you was worth the risk.

I had to see you once more
I couldn't get enough of you and needed to see you again as soon as possible.

My minutes turn to hours
Every moment spent away from you felt like an eternity.

My hours turn into days
Time moved slowly when you were not around, and the days seemed to drag by.

My road ahead got straighter
Being with you gave me direction and purpose, and I no longer felt lost and uncertain.

I exited my maze
I had finally found my way and no longer felt trapped or confused.

And I did something new
You had helped me to step outside of my comfort zone and try new things.

I started living for you
I realized that my life had previously felt incomplete, but with you in my life, I had newfound purpose and meaning.
