He said baby I love you
|
And she believed it was true
|
In the back seat of his Malibu they made love
|
For the worst and for the best
|
With their best friends as their guests
|
And in her mama's wedding dress she said I do
|
|
She did it in the name of love
|
She did it in the name of love
|
He was all she was thinking of
|
She did it in the name of love
|
Did it in the name of love
|
It's amazing what a heart's prepared to do
|
In the name of love
|
|
Forever didn't last too long
|
A few short months and he was gone
|
But the love they made was growing strong inside her
|
She said I can't afford to raise him right
|
She asked for help but got advice
|
Couldn't choose to take a life so she had a child
|
|
She did it in the name of love
|
She did it in the name of love
|
He was all she was thinking of
|
She did it in the name of love
|
Did it in the name of love
|
It's amazing what a heart's prepared to do
|
In the name of love
|
|
She drove by his house today
|
And from a distance watched him play
|
Never gave herself away and cried
|
Now the only thing that keeps her sane
|
Is knowing deep inside
|
