A letra:
Too
many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls
have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the
price
The things we do for love (The things we do for love)
Communication is the problem to the
answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The
weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for
love (The things we do for love)
Like walking in the rain and the
snow
When there's nowhere to go
When you're feeling like a part
of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You
think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh,
you've got a way
Ooh, you had me crawling up the wall
Like walking in the rain and the
snow
When there's nowhere to go
When you're feeling like a part
of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You
think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up
Ooh, you make me love you
Ooh,
you've got a way
Ooh, you had me crawling up the wall
A compromise would surely help the
situation
Agree to disagree, but disagree to part
When after
all it's just a compromise
Of the things we do for love (The
things we do for love)
The things we do for love (The things
we do for love)
The things we do for love (The things we do for
love)
The things we do for love (The things we do for love)
The
things we do for love (The things we do for love)
The things we do
for love (The things we do for love)
The things we do for love
(The things we do for love)
The things we do for love (The things
we do for love)
