For The Love Of Ivy

I never thought I'd try
For the love of Ivy
I never thought I'd cry
For the love of Ivy
Somebody hide me
From the love, the love of Ivy
It takes up all of your time
To fall in love with Ivy

If I gathered all my means
In a pile beside me
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams
For the love of Ivy
Money cannot buy me
Buy for me, the love of Ivy
I'm not the kind of guy
Who falls in love with Ivy

Ivy*
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
Yeah, yeah
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy

If I gathered all my means
In a pile beside me
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams
For the love of Ivy
Somebody hide me
From the love, from the love, from the love
It takes up all of your time
To fall in love with Ivy

For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
etc
Ivy, darling, darling
I would surely die for Ivy
Darling, darling, Ivy
Ivy is the one that I adore
For the love of Ivy
Ivy
For the love of Ivy
For the love of Ivy
