A D A         Mama works the night shift       at the county hospital

E D A          She doesn't see her kids             much at all.

D A             She misses them    more than anything.

E A             She does it all        for them.

D                 The things she does for love.

 

    A                            She gives it.

    A                            She lives it.

    A                            She's with it.

E A E A E A E  A          She always always is it.

 

A D A         When I was in middle school.   I felt something new.

E D A          I noticed things outside             and I grew.

D A             The girls sitting next to me        became so beautiful

E A             and for them                   I'd often fall.

D                 The things I do for love.

 

E  A E                            I take it.

E  A E                            I break it.

E  A E                            I make it

E A E A E A E  A          and I’ve been know to fake it.

 

A D A         Now I've reached the golden age. The prime of my life.

E D A          I have two kids      and a wife.

D A             There isn't anything I wouldn't do for them.

E A             They truly are my best friends.

D                 The things we do for love.

 

E  A E                            It fills us.

E  A E                            It thrills us.

E  A E                            It can chill us

E A E A E A E  A          and also sometimes kills us.
