Lyrics

All I Live For

You oughta know
I'm just alone
And I would never let you down
There shouldn't be uncertainty
No I would never play around

No baby don't be so insecure
Nobody's gonna steal my heart away
Just trust me
Our loving will endure
If I'm the only one for you boy
And you're the only one for me

Baby you're all I live for
All I have
Till forever
Good or bad
Everything that I adore
Baby you're all I live for

When I'm away
Don't be afraid
Baby you're always on my mind
Though we're apart
You're in my heart
Baby our love keeps me alive

Darling you're everything to me
No other love could ever take your place
There's no need for pain and jealousy
'Cause you're the only thing I treasure
And you're the only thing I need

Baby you're all I live for
All I have
Till forever
Good or bad
Everything that I adore
Baby you're all I live for

And our love will shine
Shine forever more
Time after time Baby I find myself falling
Deeper than before
Baby you're all…

Baby you're all I live for
All I have
Till forever
Good or bad
Everything that I adore
Baby you're all I live for
