Born to Love - The Waifs

40 years ago I came into this world

A helpless, hungry child

40 years of trying how to figure things out

To understand the reason why

I was beaten, bruised, bloodied and used

In a ditch by the cold roadside

When a stranger came

Put love on my pain

Said go now and do likewise

I was born to love

I was born to love

There ain’t no doubt

Got it all figured out

I was born to love

Love is a force that steers a course

Everybody marches in time

You can gain the whole world

But if you aint got love

Treasure ain’t worth a dime

Everybody need it

Everybody want it

Everybody trying make it stay

Love’s not something you just hold onto

You were born to give love away

You were born to love

You were born to love

You were born to love

There ain’t no doubt

Got it all figured out

You were born to love

Love’s not something you just fall into

It’s a choice that you’ve got to make

You can’t legislate it

Manipulate it

Only love causes love to wake

To lay down your life for somebody else

Is the greatest love that could ever be shown

'Cause at the end of the trail

Love never fails

'Cause love never seeks its own

You were born to love

You were born to love

I was born to love

I was born to love

Ain’t no doubt

Got it all figured out

We were born to love

We were born to love

We were born to love

We were born to love

Ain’t no doubt

Got it all figured out

We were born to love

Love

I said there ain’t no doubt

Got it all figured out

We were born to love
