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 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.


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 if for.


That's what love if 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 if for.
That's what love if for.
That's what love if for.
