Some people tell me

The blues ain't bad,

But, I've never know anything

Make me feel so sad...

Running on empty, hurting to the core,

When everything don't mean nothing any more...



From a distance

Every little thing looks fine,

But, the closer you get

You see the make up,

Cracked and lined...

Somewhere there's a rainbow

With a pot of gold,

But, by the time you get there

It's been taken and sold...



So I keep saying, baby...



All in the name of love,

It's all in the name of love, my friend,

All in the name of love

We all suffer in the end...



In my room

There are no shadows in the wall,

'Cause I closed up the window

So no light gets in at all.

It's a bad situation,

With no end in sight,

A heartache deep as the ocean

And darker than the night...



So I keep saying to you, baby,



All in the name of love,

It's all in the name of love, my friend,

All in the name of love

We all suffer in the end...



With no one to lean on

You pray to the Lord above,

But, we keep hurting each other

In the name of love...



All in the name of love...



With no one to lean on

You pray to the Lord above,

But, we keep hurting each other

In the name of love...



All in the name of love,

It's all in the name of love, my friend,

All in the name of love

We all suffer in the end...



All in the name of love,

It's all in the name of love, my friend,

All in the name of love

We all suffer in the end...



All in the name of love...
