You Did It For Love
Oh you say you loved her right from the start
But no one held a gun to your heart
Expecting her love back was your first mistake.
Just ‘cause you finally make a stand
Doesn’t mean you hold the winning hand
Looks like your heart of stone’s in for its first break.
Now you know that love is just for wise men and for fools
And the only rule is there ain’t no rules.
Just to think you knew it all now you haven’t got a clue.
You’re doin’ things you thought you’d never do…
But you did it for love.
So you sit around starin’ at the walls
Trying to figure out how to cushion the fall
But all your old flames can’t light a new spark.
The good ole days of struttin’ your stuff
Just don’t seem to be enough
Ever since that arrow found its mark.
Now you know that love is just for wise men and for fools
And the only rule is there ain’t no rules.
Just to think you knew it all now you haven’t got a clue.
You’re doin’ things you thought you’d never do…
But you did it for love.
Bridge:
It’s just like some wrecking ball hit you right between the eyes.
Proving once again life’s a big surprise.
Now you’ve gone and done it, you broke your only rule
You can lose your mind but never lose your cool.
Now you know that love is just for wise men and for fools
And the only rule is there ain’t no rules.
Just to think you knew it all now you haven’t got a clue.
You’re doin’ things you thought you’d never do…
But you did it for love.
