Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous
But I have more to risk, than you to lose
I feel a passion growing
I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us
We live for love
We live for love

When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away
Will you think of romance, what will we do?
Is there a place where we can go?
Where time stands still for those who know?
Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

I never planned to win the race
But you convinced me face to face
There was never a chance of losing at all

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love

We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
We live for love
