Lyrics

[Verse 1] Amanda, I know what you're thinking You and I have much to say And you've been making me crazy Trying to understand But it's impossible at your age [Pre-Chorus] I know I said I'll always try But you're goin' to bed alone again tonight And you lie there in the dark and wonder why, ah ah Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh [Chorus] I did it for you, and the boys Because love should teach you joy and not the imitation That your momma and daddy tried to show you I did it for you, and for me And because I still believe there's only one thing You can never give up, never compromise on And that's the real thing you need in love [Verse 2] You're so afraid your life is over And nothing I can say can change your mind How can anybody be so selfish And treat you all so cruel Go on and scream at me and cry [Pre-Chorus] I'll always hold you in my soul And I'm never gonna leave you all alone But your daddy doesn't live here anymore, ohh, ohh Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh [Chorus] I did it for you, and the boys Because love should teach you joy and not the imitation That your momma and daddy tried to show you I did it for you, and for me And because I still believe there's only one thing That you can never give up, never compromise on And that's the real thing you need in love [Bridge] Everybody's got a boat upon the ocean Not everybody's sailing out to sea And is there someone there for me? I'm ready to believe [Instrumental Break] [Interlude] Oh, ohhh, ohhh Ohhh, ohhh, ohhh [Chorus] Oooh, I did it for you, and the boys Because love should teach you joy and not the imitation That your momma and daddy tried to show you I did it for you, and for me And because I still believe there's only one thing You can never give up, never compromise on And that's the real thing you need in love [Outro] Ooh oh ohhh
