Everyone waits for a knock on the door   Waiting for someone, who knows what it's for   'Cause we spend a lot of money   Feeling bad and looking fine   I'll try to sum it up in a few simple lines      Oh, darling, life is what you pray for   But love is what you stay for   And I know it's pretty damn funny   How simple it can be   But you didn't hear that from me      Everyone says that it's covered in pain   Waiting for someone who'll take on the blame   Oh, it takes a lot of courage to know you're not alone   The sooner you stand up, the sooner you'll know      Oh, baby, life is what you pray for   But love is what you stay for   And I know it's pretty damn funny   How simple it can be   But you didn't hear that from me      When I hear you crying at night   Like the world is on your shoulders   I'll hold you tight, oh now   'Cause I know a secret or two   And the least I can do is share it with you      Share it with you   Share it, baby      Oh, life is what you pray for   And love is what you stay for   And I know it's pretty damn funny   How simple it can be   But you didn't hear that from me      (Life is what you pray for)   You didn't hear that from me   (Love is what you stay for)   You didn't hear that from me   (Life is what you pray for)      You didn't hear that from me   You didn't hear that from me
