Love of Your Life Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sat on a cliff, wondering, "What did I miss?"
I watched the waves come in
Roll in, roll out
Without a single doubt

[Verse 2]
Lone on a bluff, is there ever enough?
I stare into the air
Somewhere out there
The family affair

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Bring home the night

[Chorus]
Hey, I know that you turned on the light
Hey, so slow but you gave me the love of my life

[Post-Chorus]
She gave me the love

[Verse 2]
Coming up short and I’m sad to report
We fuss and fight tonight
Your case, my case
Another day to waste
Lovers don’t mix when they can’t even fix
A plot that has a twist
To share my prayer
I need my baby Bear
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Come home tonight, woah!

[Chorus]
Hey, I know that you turned on the light
Hey, so slow but you gave me the love of my life
Hey, I know that you turned on the light
Hey, so slow but you gave me the love of my life

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]
(Love of your life)
(Love of your life)
(Love of your life)
(Love of your life)
(Love of your life)
(Love of your life) (Hit it)
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Hey, I know that you turned on the light
Hey, so slow but you gave me the love of my life

[Outro]
Hey, I know that I waited so long
Hey, so slow but you gave me the love of my life
Oh, she gave me the love of my life
Tell 'em, Flea
Go ahead

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
