Kenny Rogers - What I Did for Love lyrics

What I did for love

Everybody's heart is torn and tattered

Mine was not designed for giving up

‘cos all I've ever done that really matters

It's what I did for love.

So count me with the wound and the shaking

Even when I'm barely standing up

I've tried to offer more than I have taken

It's what I did for love.

What I did for love, what I did for love

And I hope that you can see

All that love they've done for me

And when they sit and list the reasons I've existed

I'm afraid it won't add up to very much

‘cos I've gathered all I had and gladly rested

that's what I did for love.

What I did for love,

Some day I'll make silently surrender

This old heart has finally had enough

But I hope that I will always be remembered

For what I did for love.
