She works in a café for minimum wage It’s not her dream job but the bills get paid Just to see her children smile is payment enough She doesn’t do it cause she wants to she does it for the love Came slipping in the window nobody would know He’s been out in the fast lane running out of control But daddy caught him in the hall way now it’s time to get tough He doesn’t do it cause he wants to he does it for the love They had lessons they had to teach We’ve all got children we’ve got to reach Love ain’t easy you know it takes sweat tears and love Don’t do it cause you have to do it for the love You know that true love is bigger than life It can lift you up it can cut like a knife Just think about Calvary and the carpenter’s son He didn’t do it for the glory He did it for the love He had the lessons He had to teach He still has children He wants to reach Love wasn’t easy you know it took sweat tears and love He didn’t do it cause He had to He did it for the love Love wasn’t easy you know it took sweat tears and love He didn’t do it cause He had to He did it for the love He didn’t do it cause He had to He did it for the love
