Lyrics

  1. I am one of those the world looks down on
    I’m not what they think I ought to be
    Love has made me do things people frown on
    But Love is Life and everything to me

Chorus
The world may think I’m wrong
But I’ll just go along
I’m doing what I’m doing for love
Who cares what others say?
I’ll be the one who’ll pay
For doing what I’m doing for love
I gave up all I had, but I’m glad
I did it for you
After years may bring tears
But what can I do?
I’ve broken man-made laws
But Heaven will forgive me, ’cause
I’m doing what I’m doing for love

  1. I have never looked for fame or glory
    Happiness is just a point of view
    And if I have blundered, I’m not sorry
    ‘Cause all I’ve done, I’ve done, sweetheart, for you
