Baby, it's a cruel world when luck won't run your way
It's hard to keep on knockin' down the doors
If you want somebody to take you as you are
That's what my love is for

If you get tired of all the games that other lovers play
In the name of love just waging war
If you want somebody to tell it like it is
That's what my love is for

These arms are gonna hold you every night so faithfully
These eyes are gonna see you unconditionally
This body and soul are nobody's but yours
This heart bears your name forever more

And if some day you feel the need to spend time on your own
Go and sail your ship away from shore
Then I will be here shining; a lighthouse in the dark
That's what my love is for
That's what my love is for

These arms are gonna hold you every night so faithfully
These eyes are gonna see you unconditionally
This body and soul are nobody's but yours
This heart bears your name forever more

True love asks no questions
True love tells no lies
True love is its own reward
That's what my love is for
That's what my love is for
Oh, I, that's what my love
Is for
