When there is love involved
I don't think we're responsible for all our decisions
when there's a heart on the line
you don't go playin' favorites with the ghosts of your old ways

even if there's a chance it's gonna break you in two
you do what you have to do
you do what you have to do

I walked around in a fog
looking for something to break the silence
it went on and on
for years on end I lived a quiet existence

even if there's a chance it's gonna break you in two
you do what you have to do
you do what you have to do

Like a dialog in the same key
that's played in a different way by you and me
moving together in harmony
some of the notes fall out of place or get played too late
but we're playing the tune in our way
the way it's meant to be

When hard times come again
the reason's not important - it never has been
we look them straight in the eye
don't ever back down and give in to the problem

even if there's a chance it's gonna break you in two
you do what you have to do
you do what you have to do

Like a dialog in the same key
that's played in a different way by you and me
moving together in harmony
some of the notes fall out of place or get played too late
but we're playing the tune in our way
the way it's meant to be
