Relationships take work

Once you find your mate It's a continual work in progress

Once you find your perfect love
Thats when the work begins
It takes a lot of patience
To be both lover and a friend
So Take it one day at a time
And look inside yourself to find those ties that bind
(chorus)
Love can only go so far
With the magic it will do
Once you let it in your heart
The rest is up to you
Its designed to change your life
But you have to do your part
Love can only go so far

You've got to open up to all she needs
Console her when she cries
Love and understanding consecrate and sanctify
But Its not enough to make a flame
You've got to keep the fire burning when it rains
(chorus)
Love doesn't come with any guarantees
Rewards out weigh the risks
As long as you remember this
You have to raise the bar
cause... love can only go so far

Love can only go so far
That's my point of view
You can always walk away
If your just passing thru
Cause Its designed to change your life
And you have to do your part
Love can only go so far
