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,
'Til 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,
So...

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 of places,
To give love and get love, alright.

Alright,
Alright.
