[Verse 1]
I got a job after school, girl
But it ain't no big deal
'Cause it's you, it's you, it's you, baby
Who makes my life real, yeah
I bought a car with the money, girl
Put down half a year's pay on it
Just to drive you around town, baby
I'll go wherever you say, yeah
[Chorus]
That's the only reason I live
Is for the love that you give
The only reason I live, girl
Is for the love that you give
It makes me want to rock, rock
[Verse 2]
I take karate on the weekends, baby
Gotta learn how to fight for you
So don't worry about [?]
I got to make everything right for you
I'll take all of the vitamins I can
To keep me going strong
'Cause when I make sweet love to you, baby
I don't want nothing to go wrong, no
Well, well, well
[Chorus]
The only reason I live
Is for the love that you give
The only reason I live, yeah
Is for the love that you give
Bridge!
[Bridge]
It's so good
Rock
So good to me, baby
It's fresh (fresh!)
You love is the best
[Verse 3]
I'll do anything you want me to
All you got to do is say it
Your wish is my command, baby
I'm ready to obey, yeah
If you want me to, I'll even curl my hair for you, babe (Jheri curl, California curl)
I'll do anything for you, baby
It's such a sweet love affair, yeah
Well, well, well
[Chorus]
The only reason I live
Is for the love that you give
The only reason I live, yeah
Is for the love that you give
Bridge!
[Bridge]
It's so good, baby
It's fresh
Mm-mm-mm, so fresh
Makes me wanna sing, sing it with me
Rock
Ooh whoa
Rock
Uh-huh, woo-hoo
Well, well, well
[Chorus]
The only reason I live
Is for the love that you give
The only reason I live, yeah
Is for the love that you give
[Outro]
It's so fresh (fresh!)
Your love is the best
So fresh
Your love is the best
Woo-hoo
Well, well, well
The only reason I live
Is for the love that you give
The only reason I live, yeah
Is for the love that you give
