THAT´S WHAT LOVE IS FOR
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 unseenAnd 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 is for
Nothing else can do it

Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strengthto try once more
Baby, that's what love is for
