Cried for love
Can't stand it
When they scold me
Yeah, I cried for love
On every sammy morning
Yeah i cry for love
Because imitation's boring
Cry for love
[Verse 3]
Surfers ride for love
And wipe out when it hits them
Soldiers kill for love
And nobody admits it
If you're crying for love
Well, that's OK don't sweat it
If you're crying for love
Then there's still a chance you'll get it
Cry for love
