I had some words with her old man |
|
When I asked him for her hand |
|
'Cause eye to eye, you know, we never could see |
|
Now we're off and we're on our own |
|
As we head in to the danger zone |
|
To find a little pink house for her and me |
|
chorus |
|
We did it for love |
|
We did it for satisfaction |
|
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction |
|
We finally said, enough is enough |
|
We played it by ear, it came from the heart |
|
We did it for love |
|
Now Mary Beth is doin' all she can |
|
She had her child without her man |
|
She never cared to hear what the town folk would say |
|
They tried to talk her out of keepin' that boy |
|
But in this world she's found no greater joy |
|
Now she's a proud mama |
|
Watchin' the little man play |
|
chorus |
|
She did it for love |
|
She did it for satisfaction |
|
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction |
|
She finally said, enough is enough |
|
She played it by ear, it came from the heart |
|
She did it for love |
|
My brother fought in the Vietnam war |
|
He left his job and his family chores |
|
I never understood when he said he couldn't let it be |
|
Now it's been twenty years or so |
|
He still talks about how regular joes were somethin' man |
|
Defendin' the land of the free |
|
chorus |
|
They did it for love |
|
they did it for satisfaction |
|
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction |
|
They finally said, enough is enough |
|
They played it by ear, it came from the heart |
|
They did it for love |
|
chorus |
|
We did it for love |
|
We did it for satisfaction |
|
It was the rage of the age and the hour of the main attraction |
|
We finally said, enough is enough |
|
We played it by ear, it came from the heart |
|
We did it for love |
