Pat Benatar - We Live For Love

Pat Benatar - We Live For Love - About the song

This was another hit for Pat Benatar during the early '80s, but it was something of a departure from her typical sound. She sang in a high key, and some radio listeners mistook her for Deborah Harry from Blondie. Benatar and Harry both appeared in the 1980 movie Union City, although neither sang a note.

Neil Giraldo, who is Pat Benatar's guitarist, wrote this song by himself. Over the next few years, Giraldo would become Benatar's producer and bandleader, and also her husband: they were married in 1982 and have been together since.

We Live For Love - Lyrics

Your love's contagious, one kiss is dangerous

But I have more to risk, than you to lose

I feel passion growing

I know that love is only just one inch away, from striking us

We Live For Love

When we get tired, and watch the summer fade away

Will you think of romance, what will we do?

Is there a place where we can go?

Where time stands still for those who know?

Till eternity we'll fulfill our desires

We Live For Love

I never planned to win the race

But you convinced me face to face

There was never a chance of losing at all

We Live For Love
