What We Do For Love

From across the room I saw her,
A beauty beyond compare.
I didn't have to see her
I could feel that she was there.

She looked across and saw me,
I didn't know what to do.
She smiled and took my breath away,
My dreams had all come true.

So I walked across towards her,
To ask for her to dance.
All this pain, and all this grief,
Just to get inside her pants.

These things we do for love.
