If Not for Love

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You never know what you've got Till it slips away, so the people say Love in the heart that beats on In this world of lies, only love survives So shelter me in all your loving ways Help me forget about all those painful nights and days [Chorus] It would be a cold, thankless world, if not for love Take what you need, and live on and on with me If I found you just then and there It would be a sad, sad affair There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love [Verse 2] There's just no fairness in goodbye Only tears that we cry, for the part of us that die So shelter me in all your loving ways Help me forget about all those painful nights and days [Chorus] It would be a cold, thankless world, if not for love Take what you need, and live on and on with me If I found you just then and there It would be a sad, sad affair There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love... [Outro] Life is uncertainty, but there's always been you And there'll always be me There'll always be you, there'll always be me Help me forget about these tears, that I cry If not for love, if not for love Shelter me, hold me, squeeze me and love me For love, forever, if not for love If not for love, love, love If not for love, forever...
