Lyrics Born to Love - The Waifs

Born to Love

40 years ago I came into this world
A helpless, hungry child
40 years of trying how to figure things out
To understand the reason why
I was beaten, bruised, bloodied and used
In a ditch by the cold roadside
When a stranger came
Put love on my pain
Said go now and do likewise
I was born to love
I was born to love
There ain’t no doubt
Got it all figured out
I was born to love
Love is a force that steers a course
Everybody marches in time
You can gain the whole world
But if you aint got love
Treasure ain’t worth a dime
Everybody need it
Everybody want it
Everybody trying make it stay
Love’s not something you just hold onto
You were born to give love away
You were born to love
You were born to love
You were born to love
There ain’t no doubt
Got it all figured out
You were born to love
Love’s not something you just fall into
It’s a choice that you’ve got to make
You can’t legislate it
Manipulate it
Only love causes love to wake
To lay down your life for somebody else
Is the greatest love that could ever be shown
'Cause at the end of the trail
Love never fails
'Cause love never seeks its own
You were born to love
You were born to love
I was born to love
I was born to love
Ain’t no doubt
Got it all figured out
We were born to love
We were born to love
We were born to love
We were born to love
Ain’t no doubt
Got it all figured out
We were born to love
Love
I said there ain’t no doubt
Got it all figured out
We were born to love
