She works hard but she'll never know
How to pay rent on the minimal
Hope don't get her a miracle, nah, nah
But she still fights for another way
Save those tears for another day
Might look bad, but you'll never see it in her eyes

From nine to nine she's feeling miserable
She'll fake a smile just so he doesn't know
That every night she makes herself beautiful

She'd do anything for love
He knows and that's enough
Calm is what he'll never have
She had to be both mum and dad
It's not a broken home
It's all he's ever known
He'll understand when he grows up
Just how much his mum gave up
Anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love
Ah, anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love

Fingers bleed every other day
Scars don't heal 'cause she needs the pay
Hurts like hell, but she'll never say, nah, nah
Body aches but she'll never tell
Never going to ask for any help
She don't need anybody else in her life

From nine to nine she's feeling miserable
She'll fake a smile just so he doesn't know
That every night she makes herself beautiful, nah, nah

But she'd do anything for love
He knows and that's enough
Calm is what he'll never have
She's had to be both mum and dad
It's not a broken home
It's all he's ever known
He'll understand when he grows up
Just how much his mum gave up
Anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love
Ah, anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love

And she'll keep on, keep on fighting till it all ends
You'll keep on, keep on fighting

But she'd do anything for love
He knows and that's enough
Calm is what he'll never have
She had to be both mum and dad
It's not a broken home
It's all he's ever known
He'll understand when he grows up
Just how much his mum gave up
Anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love
Ah, anything for love, love, love, love, love, love, lo-love
