As a girl and a teenager, and maybe even last year, I used to listen to this song and wish desperately for a love like theirs.

Last night, I realized I had found it.

and every once in a while
you could see him get up, and he’d head downtown
’cause he heard about something she wanted
and it just had to be found
didn’t matter how simple or how much it was
and, boy, ain’t that love just something
when it’s strong enough to keep a man goin’

over the line, working overtime
everything just to hear her say
she don’t deserve him
but he loves her
he just kept going overboard
over the limit to afford
everything he knew she wanted
’cause without her, where would he be?
see, it’s not for her
she is his only need
