Life can be hard, I know that's true
Nobody loves you the way that I do
I work my fingers right down to the bone
To have someone I can call my very own
And when you need someone to hold on to
Nobody holds you the way that I do
From now on (you know that from now on)
If we are strong (we've got to be so strong)
We'll carry on (and we must carry on)
And do whatever it takes
Till two hearts beat as one
I know you're needing some time on your own
But if you need me just pick up the telephone
Give me a call, show me you care
Just name the time, you know I'll be there
Then you'll have me to tell your troubles to
Nobody listens the way that I do
(For so long, I've waited for so long)
I thought you'd gone (I thought that you had gone)
True love goes on (true love goes on and on)
Whatever it takes to keep you
From now on (you know that from now on)
If we are strong (we've got to be so strong)
We'll carry on (and we must carry on)
And do whatever it takes
Till two hearts beat as one
And when I need someone to make love to
Nobody does it the way that you do
(For so long, I've waited for so long)
I thought you'd gone (I thought that you had gone)
True love goes on (true love goes on and on)
Whatever it takes to keep you
From now on (you know that from now on)
If we are strong (we've got to be so strong)
We'll carry on (and we must carry on)
And do whatever it takes
Till two hearts beat as one
(I've waited for so long)
Don't get me wrong (I thought that you had gone)
So stay so strong (true love goes on and on)
We'll do whatever it takes
To keep you from now on
(We know that from now on)
If we are strong (we've got to be so strong)
We'll carry on (and we must carry on)
And do whatever it takes
Till two hearts beat as one
(I've waited for so long)
I've waited so long (I thought that you had gone)
True love goes on (true love goes on and on)
Now I'll do whatever it takes
Whatever it takes
You know that from now on
We've got to be so strong
We must carry on
