(Everything I Do) I Do It for You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Look into my eyes
You will see
What you mean to me
Search your heart
Search your soul
And when you find me there
You'll search no more

[Chorus]
Don't tell me
It's not worth tryin' for
You can't tell me
It's not worth dyin' for
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you


[Verse 2]
Look into your heart
You will find
There's nothin' there to hide
Take me as I am
Take my life
I would give it all
I would sacrifice
[Chorus]
Don't tell me
It's not worth fightin' for
I can't help it
There's nothin' I want more
You know it's true
Everything I do
I do it for you

[Bridge]
There's no love
Like your love
And no other
Could give more love
There's nowhere
Unless you're there
All the time
All the way, yeah

[Interlude]
Look into your heart, babe
Yeah!
Oh, yeah!

[Chorus]
Oh, you can't tell me
It's not worth tryin' for
I can't help it
There's nothin' I want more
Yeah, I would fight for you
I'd lie for you
Walk the wire for you
Yeah, I'd die for you
[Refrain]
You know it's true
Everything I do
Oh!
I do it for you

[Outro]
Everything I do, darling
And we'll see it through
We will see it through
Oh, yeah!
Yeah!
Search your heart, search your soul
You can't tell me it ain't worth dying for
Oh, yeah!
I'll be there, yeah, oh!
I'll walk the wire for you, yeah!
I will die for you
Oh, yeah!
All the time
I'm going all the way, all the way, yeah!
Take me by the hand

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“I Do It For You” was released in June 18, 1991 as a theme song for Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and first single of Adams' sixth studio album Waking Up the Neighbours. The song became one of Adams' most known and successful songs.

Despite the movie’s mixed reception (and of course, winning a Razzie Award for Worst Actor to Kevin Costner who played as Robin Hood), the song was an international smash hit, topping pop charts in several countries.

“Everything” had a seven week run at #1 in the US, and an almost record-breaking sixteen weeks in the UK – preventing Extreme “More Than Words”, Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy” and Salt N Pepa “Let’s Talk About Sex” from reaching the top spot there.
