you said you needed full time help
cos you're all alone
I said i'd work for nothing at all
if I just could take you home

and now you're taking applications
for your love
you wanted certain specifications
I circled the one that said all the above

work for love

finally got my resume
and you said you'd reviewed it some other day
I said, 'girl, hey, do it if you dare
where i'd like to go our love will flare'

finally my letter arrived
and I knew you would be mine
instead I had to prove my turf
for the first two weeks work overtime

work for love
you've got to work
you've got to work for love
