If Not For Love Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You never know what you've got
Till it slips away, so the people say
Love in the heart that beats on
In this world of lies, only love survives
So shelter me in all your loving ways
Help me forget about all those painful nights and days

[Chorus]
It would be a cold, thankless world, if not for love
Take what you need, and live on and on with me
If I found you just then and there
It would be a sad, sad affair
There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love

[Verse 2]
There's just no fairness in goodbye
Only tears that we cry, for the part of us that die
So shelter me in all your loving ways
Help me forget about all those painful nights and days [Chorus]
It would be a cold, thankless world, if not for love
Take what you need, and live on and on with me
If I found you just then and there
It would be a sad, sad affair
There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love
There'd be only heartache and heartbreak, if not for love...
[Outro]
Life is uncertainty, but there's always been you
And there'll always be me
There'll always be you, there'll always be me
Help me forget about these tears, that I cry
If not for love, if not for love
Shelter me, hold me, squeeze me and love me
For love, forever, if not for love
If not for love, love, love
If not for love, forever...
