Lyrics

I Live for Love

[Chorus]

I live for love

I live for love

[Verse 1]

And I can hardly wait till Saturday

When I see her because I live for love

The moon and the stars, they know how I feel

'Cause I live for love

[Chorus]

I live for love

I live for love

I live for love

I live for love

[Verse 1]

And I can hardly wait 'til Saturday

When I see her because I live for love

The moon and the stars, they know what I'm thinking of

'Cause I live for love
