Anything For Love

is what I'll do for you
to keep it safe,
to hold you in my arms.
I'd go that extra mile
to see your smile
wrapped in all your charms.
I'd laugh at your jokes,
and follow you
anywhere at all.
I'd live in the mountains
by a fireplace
or in the city noise
or even in a cave,
if you were there.
I'd do anything for love,
that's what I'd do,
if I had you.
I'd cook your favorite meal,
and give up anything
out in the world,
just for a kiss
from your lips,
or a kind word or two.
I wouldn't bitch
if you were late,
and obey everything
you say, just to
have you near.
I'd do anything for you,
and wait upon the
satin sheets I bought for you
today to lie upon,
and satisfy your manhood
in every way;
loving you till the morn,
hoping to remove the past,
and all your pain.
When you'd awake I'd
feed you grapes
and breakfast in bed,
remembering the tender
words you said,
to me the night before.
And let you start the
day with so much more.
I'd do anything for love,
to keep it alive,
to bring you
home to me again.
I'll make you forget
the bitter years
of loneliness you've had,
and all the others
in your past.
I'll do anything for love
to keep it from
ever being far,
because of who you are.
I'll do anything for love,
if it's real,
if it's true,
and only if it's you.
