The Stylistics - Only for the Children lyrics

Give all that you have to give When she has strained you And bitterly blamed you 'Cause she's so unhappy Give, swallowing compromise Though it won't matter You'll soon near the chatter of her Whining mouth, but you Somehow supply All the demands that never seem to end You try to withstand All of her moods, her childish attitudes Only for the children I'll keep love alive 'Cause it's only for the children My love survives Give, though it means sacrifice You feel temptation But your imitation of hope Must satisfy you Give, though it means you ignore The lack of affection And constant rejection bestown Though it hurts you I swallow my pride, tossed it aside Though deep inside of me I feel like a liar Living this lie knowing it has to be Only for the children I'll keep love alive 'Cause it's only for the children Our love survives Only for the children I'll keep love alive 'Cause it's only for the children My love survives Only for the children I'll keep love alive 'Cause it's only for the children My love survives Only for the children I'll keep love alive 'Cause it's only for the children
