Lyrics
I DID IT ALL FOR LOVE
WELL HERE?S TO THE BOYS WITH THE SOFT GUITARS
YOU KNOW THE ONES WHO STAYED IN SCHOOL
AND HERE?S TO THE GIRLS WHO LOVED THEM
MAY THEY STAY FOREVER COOL
FOR ALL THOSE BROKEN PROMISES
WHEN PUSH IT CAME TO SHOVE
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT THEM I DID IT ALL FOR LOVE
AND MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON
THE FACES I REMEMBER
AND THE ONES WHO CALLED ME FRIEND
MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON
SO HERE?S TO THE BACK ROOM HUSTLERS
AND THEIR NEVER ENDING JIVE
TO THE LONESOME WINDSWEPT COWBOYS
WHO KEPT THEMSELVES ALIVE
AND A LIFE WELL LIVED IN PLENTY
WHEN PUSH IT CAME TO SHOVE
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT?EM I DID IT ALL FOR LOVE
AND MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON
THOSE FACES I REMEMBER
AND THE ONES WHO I CALLED FRIENDS
MAY THEY ALL SHINE ON
HERE?S TO THOSE PEOPLE ON THE STREET
WHO ALWAYS ACT SURPRISED
TO THE WEARY RESTLESS WANDERER
WITH LONGING IN HIS EYES
FOR THOSE WHO THOUGHT THEY KNEW ME
WHEN PUSH IT CAME TO SHOVE
I NEVER MEANT TO HURT?EM I DID IT ALL FOR LOVE
