[Intro]
Ooh, oh
Ooh, hey, baby
I'm living for you
[Verse 1]
Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be than with you
Loving you
Day will make the way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a song, soft and long
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Well, glad to be
Here alone with a lover unlike no other
Sad to see
A new horizon slowly coming into view
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
You, you, you
[Verse 2]
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
My love and me
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Flowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
Well, when you're loving me, ooh, ooh, baby
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Love to be
Riding the waves of love, enchanted with your touch
It seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you, baby, baby
All that I'm giving, giving is for the love of you
You, you, you
[Verse 3]
Paradise, I have within
Can't feel as secure again
You're the key
And this I see, yeah, ooh
Now and then I lose my way
Using words to try and say what I feel
Oh yeah, your love is real, ooh
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I might as well
Sign my name on a card that could say it better
See, time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do
Do, do
[Chorus]
I wanna be living for the love of you
(Living for you, only for you, boy)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(My love for you, baby)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(I, I, I, baby)
All that I'm giving, giving is for the love of you
(For the love of you, better believe it, boy)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(Of you, of you, of you, of you, wanna be giving, giving, giving)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(All my love to you, to you, you)
I wanna be living for the love of you
(I wanna be living, I wanna be living)
(Nobody else but you, boy)
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
(Each and every day)
