For the Love of Pete

For the love of Pete

You were no cheat

Although you could have been a little more discreet

You did it all for the love of Pete

For Pete's sake, for my sake

You were no birthday cake

And each one could have had his own share - oh

Someone had to win, someone had to lose

But you were the one who had to choose

It was the love of Pete that you wanted

I guess there was no way that I could compete

You did it all for the love of Pete

For the love of Pete, for the love of Pete - oh
