Labour Of Love

Songwriters: R. Thomas / C. Deveau
Lyrics: R. Thomas

I got
a friend
Johnny Mack
working
downstairs
on an old
eight track
and Jimmy D's
playing
rhythm guitar
they got a girl
from the valley
singing
backup parts
it 'aint
a miracle
to fall
from above
it won't be
lightning
it's a labour
of love

It's a labour
a labour
of love
it's a labour
of love
hey darlin'
it 'ain't
a miracle
to fall
from above
It's a labour
a labour
of love

Jimmy's dad
"Big Bill D"
is managing
the band
from the block
up the street
he's on
the phone
making
the calls
taking care
of business
doing
it all
it 'aint
for money honey
there ain't
enough
it's just
something
something
he does

It's a labour
a labour
of love
it's a labour
of love
hey darlin'
it's just
something
something
he does
it's
a labour
a labour
of love

Solo

Sally May
sits
at
the beach
soaking
up the sun
at
a hundred
degrees
it ain’t
her skin
she's
thinking of
she's doing it
for Johnny
'cause
she's in love
she's gonna
put that
white dress
on
she's gonna
keep him
awake
until
dawn

It's a labour
a labour
of love
it's a labour
of love
hey darlin'
it's just
something
something
she does
it's
a labour
a labour
of love

It's a labour
a labour
of love
it's a labour
of love
hey darlin'
it's just
something
something
she does
it's
a labour
a labour
of love
