Some people tell me
The blues ain't bad,
But, I've never know anything
Make me feel so sad
Running on empty, hurting to the core,
When everything don't mean nothing any moreFrom a distance
Every little thing looks fine,
But, the closer you get
You see the make up,
Cracked and lined
Somewhere there's a rainbow
With a pot of gold,
But, by the time you get there
It's been taken and soldSo I keep saying, babyAll in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the endIn my room
There are no shadows in the wall,
'Cause I closed up the window
So no light gets in at all.
It's a bad situation,
With no end in sight,
A heartache deep as the ocean
And darker than the nightSo I keep saying to you, baby,All in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the endWith no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of loveAll in the name of loveWith no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above,
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of loveAll in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the endAll in the name of love,
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the endAll in the name of love
