Don't you know I'd work for you, I'd slave for you, be a beggar or a knave for you

If that isn't love it will have to do until the real thing comes along

Gladly move the earth for you, prove my love dear, and it's worth for you

If that isn't love it'll have to do, until the real thing comes along

With all the words dear at my command, I just can't make you understand

I'll always love you baby - come what may, my heart is yours - what more can I say

I would cry for you, even sigh for you, tear those stars down from the sky for you

If that isn't love it'll have to do, until the real thing comes along

Walk on burning coals for you, I would drive the Chrysler, leave the Rolls for you

If that ain't love it will have to do, until the real thing comes along

I would try to hit high "C" for you, I'd even punch out Mr. T for you

If that ain't love it will have to do, until the real thing comes along

There's not a thing that you can't ask of me, go on, demand any task of me

If you want the moon or a lavaliere, all you got to do is nibble on my ear

I would rob, steal, beg, borrow, and lie for you, lay my little body down and die for you

(If that ain't love - if that isn't love), If that ain't love it will have to do

Until the real thing comes along
