I wasn't looking, so how could I see the light
I learned to live with the empty silence
In my nights
Mindlessly drifting through pain
And through pleasure
Till I found you I had nothing to treasure

To give love is to get love, alright
If I had someone, I'd give my love, all my life

"Never regret," was the way of life that I led
I took the low road to places where angels
Would fear to tread
Trapped in my darkness, so reckless and driven
There was no chance that I'd be forgiven
To give love is to get love, alright
Now I need someone to share love in my life
And like a good friend, help my soul mend
From the long years, in a sea of blank faces
With no place to find love, so right

Yet still I yearned, through wasted wine-filled
Nights for one
Who'd wash away the pain
Like softly falling rain
And now a gentle heart has brought
The morning sun

To give love is to get love, alright
You could be someone to share love in my life
So if you take me, then you'll soon see
You can find hope in the strangest places
To give love and get love, alright
