Loving You's A Dirty Job But Somebody's Gotta Do It Lyrics - Bonnie Tyler

(there were times we had it all) 

(there were times we lost it all) 

Girl: 

When the sky is falling and you're looking 'round for somewhere to hide 

Did you ever call out to someone? 

Did you ever call out to me? 

I've never been gone, I've been right here by your side 

There ain't nothin' but clouds 

There ain't nothin' but clouds in your eyes 

Why don't you believe it when you finally found the truth? 

You've been drinking poison water from the fountain of youth 

Why don't you stop tearing up everyone you need the most? 

You're so busy trying to get even, you never even try to get close

I can't explain it away 

It doesn't make any sense 

To know what it's like 

I guess you gotta go through it 

I guess you gotta go through it 

I guess you gotta go through it 

It doesn't matter baby 

Loving you's a dirty job 

(it's a dirty job... but we can make it) 

But somebody's gotta do it 

Boy: 

There were times when we'd never fake it 

There were times when we'd always make it 

There were times when we'd take it to the limit 

And we'd never, never, ever leave each other alone 

We were flesh and blood and bone 

There were times we had it all 

There were times we had it all 

Photos 

Both: 

There were times when we took our chances 

There were times we were damn good dancers 

There were times when we heard all the answers 

In the beating of the drummer and the riches of the rock and the roll 

Girl: 

I can see right through your soul 

Both: 

There were times we had it all 

There were times we had it all 

(It's a dirty job... but we can make it) 

(somebody's gotta do it) 

Boy: 

If your fears could only be forgotten 

We could pull all the barriers down 

Would you follow your dream's desire? 

Would you follow your secret dreams and forbidden fire? 

Let's just peel out of this town 

Both: 

It's been nothing but dreams 

It's been nothing but dreams until now 

Boy: You're never gonna see it 

Both: You got your head stuck in the sand 

Boy: It's the land of the free and easy streets 

Girl: It's the home of the damned 

Boy: You're never gonna see it 

Both: You better open up your eyes 

Girl: You're the only one who's left 

Both: Who's gonna believe all your lies 

Boy: 

I can't explain it away 

It doesn't make any sense 

Both: 

To know what it's like 

I guess you gotta go through it 

I guess you gotta go through it 

I guess you gotta go through it 

It doesn't matter baby 

Girl: 

Loving you's a dirty job 

(it's a dirty job... but we can make it) 

But somebody's gotta do it 

Both: 

There were times when our bodies glistened 

There were times that we can't stop missing 

Boy: 

There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen 

To the pounding, pounding chorus of our desperate hearts 

Both: 

Nothing could have torn us apart 

There were times we had it all 

There were times we had it all 

Girl: 

There were times when we fought like tigers 

There were times we were damn good liars 

Boy: There were times we extinguished every fire 

Both: That was burning, burning, burning, up each other alive 

Boy: 

From the heavens all down to the dives 

Both: 

There were times we lost it all 

There were times we lost it all... 

Boy: Oooh 

(there were times when we fought like tigers) 

(there were times we were damn good liars) 

Both: 

There were times when our bodies glistened 

There were times that we can't stop missing 

There were times that we'd lay in bed and listen 

To the pounding, pounding, chorus of our desperate hearts 

Nothing could have torn us apart 

There were times we had it all 

There were times we had it... all 

(it's a dirty job... but we can make it) 

(somebody's gotta do it) 

(there were times we had it all) 

(there were times we lost it all)
