I do it for love (it's not a job for me)

It's not a job to me you know
I do it for love, God I do
And if I put on a real nice show
It's coming from the love in you

Wow oh, I do for love, you know I do
And if I put on a real nice show
It's coming from the love in you

And oh, as I think about it now
The money's only good sometimes
Oh, but only if I could store the love
Somewhere up there in my mind

'Cause every once in a while I'm afraid I lose it
Every once in a while I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it
Every once in a while I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it

I said, I say, it's not a job to me you know
I do it for love
And if I put on a real nice show
It's coming from the love in you

Yeah hey, I do it for love. I do I do, yeah
Wow, I do it for love, you know I do it
I do it oh, I do it for love
I do it for love, God I do

I say oh, ah-ah-ah, oh oh, oh-oh-oh, wow yeah
Don't you do it, I know you do, you do it for love, ah ooo
I say oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ye-yeah
Oh don't ya do it, I know you do, I know you do it for love

And oh, sometimes they ask me:
"Melanie girl, don't you ever just get tired?
Oh, but only if I could store the love
Somewhere up there in my mind

'Cause every once in a while I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it
Every once in a while I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it
Every once in a while I'm afraid I'm gonna lose it

Then I say:
It's not a job to me you know
I do it for love, yeah
And if I put on a real nice show
It's comin' from the love in you

I do it for love, I do, I do, I do, yeah
I do it for love, you know I do
Oh I do it, I do it for love

And if I put on a real nice show
It's coming from the love in you
