And I would do anything for you
Not in words, no I really mean it
Let the whole damn world declare war on me
Just for standing by your side
If you leave, you was the one way I'd survive
I’d gladly die I mean it

I would do anything for you
Unconditioned, unconditional love
And I would do anything for you
I’m talking unconditioned, unconditional love

I would do anything for you (For you, for you, for you)
Not in words, let my actions speak it (Anything for you, for you)
Let the sun decide that it won’t shine
Until I say that we are through
I would live my life in darkness just for you
I swear it’s true, I mean it

I would do anything for you
Unconditioned, unconditional love
I would do anything for you
I’m talking unconditioned, unconditional, unconditional love
I’m talking unconditioned, unconditional love
I’m talking unconditioned, unconditioned

I don’t care about what’s ṗopular
I don’t hear a word they say
What I know is that it’s you and me until both of our dying day

I would do anything for you hmmm ohh
Unconditioned, unconditional love ohh woww
I would do anything for you baby hey
Unconditioned, unconditional love ohh
Unconditioned, unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional
It's unconditional, unconditional love
Unconditional, unconditional
Unconditional love awwuah
