I’m running around to put food on the table
I give you my heart when I am able
I’ll soothe your open wounds and I’ll sing you a lullaby
Feel me pull you back from the grave when you try to die
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love and money, honey I do for you
I stand for hours to make ‘em holler
I sing my heart out to make a dollar
I’ll knock down the gates of heaven and I’ll kick down the doors of hell
Ain’t nothing I wouldn’t do for you, you know damn well
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love and money, honey I do for you
Sometimes I ask myself, why do I stay?
But if I had to do it all over, I’d do it the same way
Trade my last piece of silver to buy you a loaf of bread
I only want you hungry when we go to bed
Troubled times feed troubled minds, I want no trouble with you
I give you all that I got to keep you, keep you true
What I do for love and money
What I do for love and money
What I do for love and money, honey I do for you
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love (what I do for love) and money
What I do for love and money, honey I do for you
Honey I do for you
