Some people tell me the blues ain't bad
But I've never know anything' make me feel so sad
Runnin' on empty, hurtin' to the core
When everything don't mean nothin' anymore
From a distance every little thing looks fine but the closer
You get, you see the make up cracked and lined
Somewhere there's a rainbow with a pot of gold
But by the time you get there, it's been taken and sold
So, I keep sayin', baby
All in the name of love, it's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love, we all suffer in the end
In my room, there are no shadows on the wall
'Cause I closed up the window, so no light gets in at all
It's a bad situation with no end in sight
A heartache deep as the ocean and darker than the night
So, I keep sayin' to you, baby
All in the name of love, it's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love, we all suffer in the end
With no one to lean on, you pray to the Lord above
But we keep hurtin' each other in the name of love
All in the name of love
With no one to lean on, you pray to the Lord above
But we keep hurtin' each other in the name of love
All in the name of love, it's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love, we all suffer in the end
All in the name of love, it's all in the name of love, my friend
All in the name of love, we all suffer in the end
All in the name of love, all in the name of love
All in the name of love, all in the name of love
All in the name of love, all in the name of love

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
