Only For The Children Lyrics - Singles - The Stylistics

Give all that you have to give 

When she estranged you 

And bitterly blamed you 

'Cause she's so unhappy 

Give, swallowing compromise 

Though it won't matter 

Your so near the chatter of her 

Winding [Incomprehensible] up you 

Somehow so far 

All the demands that never seem to win 

You try to withstand 

All of her mood, her childish attitudes 

Only for the children 

I keep love alive 

'Cause it's only for the children 

My love survives 

Give though it means sacrifice 

You feel temptation 

But your imitation of hope 

Must satisfy 

You give, though it means you ignore 

The lack of affection 

And constant rejection destroyed 

Though it hurts you 

To swallow my pride, toss it aside 

Though deep inside of me 

I feel that through life 

Living this life knowing it has to be 

Only for the children 

I keep love alive 

'Cause it's only for the children 

Our love survives 

Only for the children 

I keep love alive 

'Cause it's only for the children 

My love survives 

Only for the children 

I keep love alive 

'Cause it's only for the children 

My love survives 

Only for the children 

I keep love alive 

'Cause it's only for the children
