Some people tell me the blues ain't bad
But, I've never know anything make me feel so sad
Running on empty, hurting to the core
Everything don't mean nothing any more
From a distance, every little thing looks fine
But, the closer you get, you see the make up cracked and lined
Somewhere there's a rainbow with a pot of gold
But, by the time you get there, it's been taken and sold
So I keep saying, baby
All in the name of love
It's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end
In my room there are no shadows in the wall
'Cause I closed up the window, so no light gets in at all
It's a bad situation with no end in sight
A heartache deep as the ocean and darker than the night
So I keep saying to you, baby
All in the name of love
It's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end
With no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love
All in the name of love
With no one to lean on
You pray to the Lord above
But, we keep hurting each other
In the name of love
All in the name of love
It's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end
All in the name of love
It's all in the name of love, my friend,
All in the name of love
We all suffer in the end
All in the name of love
