Love You For Life

Jodeci · Other Songs - Jodeci

Promises you made me

All the things you told me

You said you never leave me

We'd be together for eternity

But now it's all in the past

Now I know our love will last

Lady I will do all I can

Lady I will be all I am

I'll give you all you had before

So come in and close the door

Let me show you what our love could be

would you just please tell me



chorus



do you believe in love

And the promises that it gives

I wanna love you for life

Cuz you're love is why I live

do you believe in love

And the promises that it gives

I wanna love you for life

Cuz your love is why i live



I know that things are rough

But my faith wasn't strong enough

Now my heart is built to last

My heart is beating for you fast

But now I know that you understand

I wanna take you by the hand

And walk with you down that aisle

And with you I will live my life(I will)

I'll give you all you had before

So come on in and close the door

Let me show you what our love could be

If you just please tell me



Chorus

do you believe in love (baby baby tell me )

And the promises that it gives(I wanna know)

I wanna love you for life (Because your love because your love)

Cuz you're love is why I live

do you believe in love(uhhhhhhh yeah oh hehhh)

And the promises that it gives

I wanna love you for life

Cuz your love is why i live



I want you to know that it's for real

This feeling that we feel

I want you to know it's so real

Tell me will you



Chorus 3x
