[Intro]
Do you really know the reason for your livin'

[Verse 1]
Livin' life, movin' much too fast to see
I'm feelin' like there ain't no reality
But there's a moral to every story
Every day that we live
Make a better day tomorrow
Open up and give

[Chorus]
Love from your heart
Why don't you give me the part
You're throwin' away, yeah
Love from your heart
Why don't you give me the part
You're throwin' away, yeah

[Verse 2]
Try, ooh-ooh...
Somebody's watchin' you
Whoa, I, I really want you to
Open up your mind, let somebody in
Tears may never come again
Oh-oh...

Livin' hard, tryin' to make a way for me
I've got a guidin' star
Shine the light of love on me

Hey, there's a moral to every story
Every day that we live
Make a better day tomorrow
Open up and give

[Chorus]
Love from your heart
Why don't you give me the part
You're throwin' away, yeah
Love from your heart
Why don't you give me the part
You're throwin' away, yeah

Try, uh-huh
Somebody's watchin' you
Whoa, I, I really want you to
Open up your mind, let somebody in
Tears may never come again, no, no
Hey-hey, yeah, yeah

Ooh-ooh, mmm...
Ooh-ooh, hey-hey

Do you really know the reason for your livin'
Chic-a-bum-bum, who
For your livin'
Livin' life, movin' much too fast to see
Hey-hey, whoa-whoa-oh...

Do you really know the reason for your livin'
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh...
For your livin'
I've got a guidin' star
Shine the light of love on me
Hey-hey, yeah
Do you really know the reason for your livin'
Whoa-oh, whoa...
For your livin'
I've got a guidin' star, well
Ain't gonna hurt nobody
Reach on out and touch someone
Do you really know the reason for your livin'...
