And I would do anything for love,
I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love,
I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now,
Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that,
I won't do that
Anything for love, oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, but I won't do that,
Oh I won't do that
Some days it don't come easy,
And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all,
And these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire,
And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing
I've ever seen before or will again
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true
I know you can save me,
No one else can save me now but you
As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning
As long as your dreams are coming true,
You better believe it
That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there til the final act
I would do anything for love,
And I'll take a vow and seal a pact
But I'll never forgive myself
If we don't go all the way tonight
And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, no I won't do that
I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that (repeats 3x)
Some days I pray for silence,
And somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of
Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling,
And some nights I lose coThe wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey
But it's really not my home
My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet
And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne
Oh Carey get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you fine
Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine
And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down
Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers
A round for these friends of mine
Let's have another round for the bright red devil
Who keeps me in this tourist town
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
I'll put on some silver
Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam
Or maybe I'll go to Rome
And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room
But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now
The night is a starry dome.
And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll
Beneath the Matalla Moon
Come on, Carey, get out your cane
And I'll put on some silver
You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you
The wind is in from Africa
Last night I couldn't sleep
Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here
But, it's really not my home
Maybe it's been too long a time
Since I was scramblin' down in the street
Now they got me used to that clean white linen
And that fancy French cologne
Oh Carey, get out your cane
I'll put on my finest silver
We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe
Have fun tonight
I said, Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight
