We've been burning that candle down
Both ends at the same time
There ain't enough money in this town
To make it worth working so hard
Honey nothings worth growing so cold
That you lose your heart and soul
So day by day we've gotta spend some time
On the labor of love
It's the give and take when everything is on the line
It's the labor of love
I want you I need you
I know we're strong enough
It just takes working on the labor of love
You've been living on empty arms
I've been standing on shaky ground
I've been thinking 'bout who we are
And what love really means
Girl it's gonna take all we got
But the real thing always does
So day by day we've gotta spend some time
On the labor of love
It's the give and take when everything is on the line
It's the labor of love
I want you I need you
I know we're strong enough
It just takes working on the labor of love

[SOLO]
I want you I need you
I know we're strong enough
It just takes working on the labor of love
Two people working on the labor of love
Girl we're working on the labor of love
