Well, well well well, well
Hey, ooh-hoo...

[Verse 1]
Drifting on a memory
Ain't no place I'd rather be than with you, yes
Loving you, well well well
Day will make the way for night
All we need is candlelight
And a song, ooh, soft and long
Well well well
Glad to be
Here alone with a lover unlike no other
Sad to see, a new horizon slowly coming into view, yeah

[Chorus]
I want to be living for the love of you, oh oh
All that I'm giving is for the love of you

[Verse 2]
Lovely as a ray of sun
That touches me when the morning comes
Feels good to me
Well, my love and me, love and me
Smoother then a gentle breeze
Blowing from my mind with ease
Soft as can be
When you're loving me, when you're loving me, ooh

I love to be
Riding the waves of love, enchanted with your touch
And it seems to me
We can sail together in and out of mystery, oh

[Chorus]
I want to be living for the love of you, oh yes I do
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
I know that I'm living for the love of you, oh yes I do
All that I'm giving, giving is for the love of you

[Verse 3]
Paradise I have within
Can't feel as secure again
You're the key
This I see, oh
Now and then I lose my way
Using words that try to say what I feel
Yeah, this is so real, so real

I might as well, sign my name on a card which could say it better
Time will tell
'Cause it seems that I've done just about all that I can do, I can do

[Chorus]
I want to be living for the love of you, oh yes I do
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
I wanna be living for the love of you, oh yes I do
All that I'm giving is for the love of you
Each and every day I'm, oh, I'm living for the love of you
Said that I'm living for the love of you, baby

Boyz II Men is an R&B vocal quartet from Philadelphia who became the most successful pop group of the 1990s. They’re best known for their passionate ballads, including the number one hits “End of The Road,” “On Bended Knee,” and “I’ll Make Love To You.”

An early version of the group was founded by Nathan Morris in the mid 1980s while attending the Philadelphia High School for the Creative and Performing Arts, where he recruited students Wanya Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Michael McCary. Singer Marc Nelson was also an early member, but left the group before their big break.

The group—who took its name from New Edition’s song “Boys To Men”—was discovered in 1988 after auditioning for New Edition’s Michael Bivins backstage at a concert. Bivins signed the group to his management company and secured them a contract with Motown Records.
