Sometimes we make it harder than it is

We'll take a perfect night

And fill it up with words we don't mean

Dark sides best unseen

And we wonder why we're feeling this way



Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same

Why we can be unkind

Questioning the strongest of hearts

That's when we must start

Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far



That's what love is for

To help us through it

That's what love is for

Nothing else can do it



Melt our defenses

Bring us back to our senses

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for



Sometimes I see you

And you don't know I am there

And I'm washed away by emotions

I hold deep down inside

Getting stronger with time

It's living through the fire

And holding on we find



That's what love is for

To help us through it

That's what love if for

Nothing else can do it



Melt our defenses

Bring us back to our senses

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for



Believing in the one thing

That has gotten us this far

That's what love is for

To help us through it

That's what love if for

Nothing else can do it



Round off the edges

Talk us down from the ledges

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for

That's what love is for



That's what love is for

Melt our defenses

Bring us back to our senses

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for

That's what love is for

That's what love is for

That's what love is for
