Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I guess there's no good reason for livin'

But I'll keep on livin' for you, babe

There's nothing else to do, babe

But spend my life holding you and lovin' you

[Verse 2]

Oh

If I ask you more than one million times to forgive me?

You think of a reason why

That you should make me cry (Don't make me cry, babe)

Walk out and say goodbye away from me

[Verse 3]

Oh, yeah

I'm tired of the bright ideas about leavin' me

Ah, when you know you're not goin' nowhere

But here with me

Here with me

Let me tell you a thing

[Verse 4]

Stop and think of just how good I've been to you baby, please

I'm not causin' no trouble for you baby

This story just can't be true, baby (Just can't be true, baby)

How can I convince you, baby?

But just tell you the truth

[Chorus]

I'm livin' for you, givin' for you, waitin' for you

Lemme tell you what I'm doin'

I'm playin' for you, prayin' for you, workin' for you (Prayin' for you)

Everyday of my life, I tell you that

I'm livin' for you, givin' for you, givin' for you (I'm sayin', I'm)

Oh my my, playin' for you, prayin' for you, workin' for you (Everything I do, ah, everything I do I still)

Do with you, something to do with you

Do with you

That's why I said I keep on livin' for you
