What You Won't Do For Love

Dorothy Moore · Other Songs - Dorothy Moore

I guess you wonder where I've been

I searched to find the love within

I came back to ley you know

Got a thing for you

And I can't let go



My friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well I'm in a daze from your love you see

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you

And I can't let go



Some people go around the world for love

And they may never find what they dream of

What you won't do, do for love

You tried everthing

But you don't give up

In my world only you

Make me do for love

What I would not do



My friends wonder what is wrong with me

Well I'm in a daze from your love you see

I came back to let you know

Got a thing for you

And I can't let go



And though I only want the best it's true

I can't believe the things I do for you



What you won't do, do for love

You've tried everything

But you won't give up

In my world only you

Make me do for love

What I would not do
