Stand Up For Love

(album: Soul Provider - 1989)

Baby, we've been in and out of love so many times
We keep reaching the end of the line
And giving up on each other
And darling, I don't think we can survive one
more good-bye
Can't cry one more tear or lie one more lie
We got one last chance to make it
But that's all we need if we just take it

[Chorus:]
Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause I know what we got is worth
fighting for
And I know for sure, right or wrong
This is where we belong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Stand together
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love

Baby, after everything we put each other
through
And no matter what damage we do
We still need one another
And sometimes when I hold you in my arms
somehow I see
As bad as we've been that's how good we can be
But we can't just say we want it
Gotta lay all our tomorrows on it

[Chorus]

For all the dues we've paid
The magic we two have made
For all we've meant to one another
Once and for all we've gotta stand up
for each other

Baby, we gotta stand up for love
Gotta hold on
'Cause we know what we got is worth
fighting for
And we know for sure, right or wrong
Baby, this time we gotta stand up for love
Now or never
Can't settle for less than forever
I know there's nothing we can't rise above
If we just stand up for love
