Howard Hewett
For The Sake of Loving
[Verse 1]
You see into me
And suddenly, there's left to say
(What good are words now?)
Sometimes I feel anger
How can you assume your instincts are so clear?
(What good are thoughts now?)
I will cover myself, pretend I'm waiting for someone else
I won't look in your eyes while every part of me cries
[Chorus]
I want to love you and be loved
Have you and be taken
Be the one you come to
Need you without breaking
Love you and be loved
Feel you without touching
Let you become a liar
All for the sake of loving
(All for the sake of loving)
[Verse 2]
Facing the glass
I see someone cornered by desire
(Where is my power?)
Obsessed with one thought
And still I will not open myself
(And show you this hunger)
We keep reaching for strength
But we hold each other at arms length
I don't want it like this, don't want to have to resist
[Chorus]
I want to love you and be loved
Have you and be taken
Be the one you come to
Need you without breaking
Love you and be loved
Feel you without touching
Let you become a liar
All for the sake of loving
(All for the sake of loving)
[Bridge]
Oh, you're laughing
You're touching (You're laughing, you're touching)
You in my heart
By now, it should be clear
You're always there (Always there)
Always
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
(Oh-oh) Love you and be loved
Have you and be taken
Be the one you come to
Need you without breaking (All for the sake of loving)
Love you and be loved
Feel you without touching
Let you become a liar
All for the sake of loving (All)
All for the sake of loving (For the sake of loving)
Be the one you come to (I'll be the one you run to)
All for the sake of loving (For the sake of loving)
Let you become a liar (All for the sake of loving)
All for the sake of loving
All for the sake of loving
All for the sake of loving
All for the sake of loving
All for the sake of loving
All for the sake of loving (Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh)
All for the sake of loving (For the sake of loving)
All for the sake of loving
