It’s Been There From The Start Lyrics

If it’s love that you want from me
Come on and take it
If it’s money that you want from me
Come one don’t fake it

But please don’t step on my heart
It’s been kicked around once or twice
It’s the same old story
Got a lot of love for you
And it’s been there from the start

If it’s love that you want from me
I gotta know it
Because my love is all I’ve got that’s real
And I can show it

But please don’t step on my heart
It’s been kicked around once or twice
It’s the same old story
Got a lot of love for you
And it’s been there from the start

But please don’t step on my heart
It’s been kicked around once or twice
It’s the same old story
Got a lot of love for you
And it’s been there from the start
But please don’t step on my heart
It’s been kicked around once or twice
It’s the same old story
Got a lot of love for you
And it’s been there from the start

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 [?]
