Lyrics of Do It For Your Lover

A veces cuesta decir todo lo que uno piensa
A veces la vida causa estragos sin que te des cuenta
A veces parece que es como una melodía
Frustrada y perdida no nos deja ver la luz del día

Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love

Coge mi mano, no cierres esa puerta
Deja que el dolor y la tristeza desaparezcan
Así que pega un grito, sal ahí y vuela
Y verás que por los tuyos siempre vale la pena

Así que
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love

Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover,
Just do it, just do it, just do it for your lover
Just do it just do it, just do it for your lover.

Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover.
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover babe, clap your hands and do it for your lover,
Do it for your lover, do it for your lover,
Do it for those you ever care and love
Sometimes it’s hard to say all the things you want to
Sometimes life harms you without even warning you
Sometimes it reminds me of a melody
So lost and frustrated it won’t let you see the daylight
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love
And love
And love

Hold my hand, don’t close that door
Let the pain and sorrow just go away
Then shout, get out there and fly
And you’ll see it’s worth doing it for your loved ones

So
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love (Love…)
And love (Love ...)
And love (Love ...)
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover
Just do it, just do it
Just do it for your lover

Do it for your lover
Do it for your lover, baby
Clap your hands and do it for your lover
Do it for your lover
Just do it for your lover
Do it for those you ever care and love (Love ...)
And love
And love
Oh baby just do it
Oh baby just do it
Just do it
Parfois il est difficile de dire ce que l’on pense
Parfois la vie fait des ravages sans que tu t’en rendes compte
Parfois c’est comme une mélodie
Frustrée et perdue que ne nous laisse pas voir la lumière du jour

Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes baby
Tape dans tes mains et fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes baby
Tape dans tes mains et fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour les ceux qui prennent soin de toi et t’aiment

Et l’amour
Et l’amour

Prend ma main, ne ferme pas cette porte
Laisse la douleur et la tristesse disparaître
Crie le plus fort possible, sort et envole toi
Et tu verras que si c’est pour les tiens, ça vaut toujours la peine
Et ainsi …


Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes baby
Tape dans tes mains et fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes baby
Tape dans tes mains et fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour les ceux qui prennent soin de toi et t’aiment

(Amour…)

Et l’amour (Amour ...)
Et l’amour (Amour ...)

Fais-le, fais-le
Fais-le juste pour ton amour
Fais-le, fais-le
Fais-le juste pour ton amour
Fais-le, fais-le
Fais-le juste pour ton amour
Fais-le, fais-le
Fais-le juste pour ton amour
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes baby
Tape dans tes mains et fais-le pour celui que tu aimes
Fais-le pour celui que tu aimes

Fais-le juste pour l’amour
Fais-le pour les ceux qui prennent soin de toi et t’aiment

Et l’amour
Et l’amour

Oh baby fais-le
Fais-le
