Once upon a time
I had a girl
And we swore we'd walk together
Through this whole world

And in a fit of passion
One day we tied the knot
And it was here we come real world
Ready or not, ready or not

We knew that we
Were bucking the odds
But we were young and in love
So we followed our hearts
we followed our hearts

She waited tables
And I drove a cab
And barely enough was all we had
We were livin' on love
Livin' on love
It was the only thing we had plenty of
We were livin' on love

We had bills upon bills
Piled past our heads
Livin' on love

We had no money
We forgot 'em instead
Livin' on love

Then one day
about two years on
Livin' on love

I woke up one morning
And she was gone
Livin' on, livin' on love

I can't really blame her
It was such a strain
Every loan shark in town
They knew our name
Yeah, they knew our name

But, I remember when we started
And the promise we made
It's sad but true
But things happen that way
When you're livin' on love

Livin' on love
It was the only thing we had plenty of
We were livin' on love

Livin' on love
It was the only thing we had plenty of
We were livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
Livin' on love
