Eg White - Fight For Love lyrics

[Verse 1] I've never thought it before, now it's all I can see I don't get no reward, without trading in cruelty You're asking to suffer, oh, why? I'll never put the two things together Might see heaven tonight, might get turned away There's only one that you want, but they're one in the same People want each other, oh But I'll never put the two things together [Chorus 1] Why would you fight for love? Why would you pay to hurt yourself? There's still nothing to hold onto But your pride Why would you fight for love? Why can't you fight for something else? There's still nothing to hold onto But your pride, oh [Verse 2] You're faithful as hell to what you never had Walking the streets, throwing good, often bad When I could be someone for you Somebody who will hold you together I give what I can, might be too much I'll give what I need, I'll give you love And all I'm asking Is for you to put my whole world together [Chorus 1] Why would you fight for love? Why would you pay to hurt yourself? There's still nothing to hold onto But your pride Why would you fight for love? Why can't you fight for something else? There's still nothing to hold onto But your pride, oh But your pride, yeah [Bridge] Might see heaven You might get turned away There's still nothing to hold onto But why would I, why would I go that way? [Chorus 2] Why would I fight for love? Why would I pay to hurt myself? Yeah, there's still nothing to hold onto But your pride, yeah Why would I fight for love? Why can't I fight for something else? There's still nothing to hold onto But your pride
