They say that Paris ran off with Helen of Troy.
Agamemnon didn't like it and he was a good ol' boy.
He and his clan decided to show Paris what for
so they started up that old Trojan war.
Young Lucy Manette married Charles Darnay
but they found a letter in the Bastille one day.
That put Sydney Carton's love to the test.
He didn't do what he wanted but what he thought was best.
And what made him give up his life then
instead of awaiting his turn?
He did it all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Yes, it was all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Romeo fell in love with sweet Juliet
but his folks didn't like her. She was a Capulet.
So he climbed in her window and he whispered in her ear,
"Come away with me darlin'. What are we doin' here?"
Clyde Barrow was a man and he had him a gun.
He met Bonnie Parker and away they did run.
They made a little love and they had a little spree.
Their infamous deaths went down in history.
And why were their lives held so cheaply?
And what made their tortured hearts burn?
Blame it all on the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Yes, it was all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Yes, it was all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Now, a lot of men have lived and a lot of men have died.
Some of them told the truth and some of them lied.
There's been a lot of babies born, a lot of mothers who cried.
Since the beginning of time, a lot of lovers who sighed.
Some who's love was accepted, some who's love was denied.
They yearned and they burned but they were not satisfied.
No matter what they did, no matter how hard they tried,
only one thing was certain, one motive always applied:
They did it all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
Yes, it was all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
A man can live for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
We do it all for the love of a woman
and the promise of love in return.
