Love Is Everything Lyrics

Maybe it was to learn how to love
Maybe it was to learn how to leave
Maybe it was for the games we played

Maybe it was to learn how to choose
Maybe it was to learn how to lose
Or maybe it was for the love we made

Oh, love is everything they said it would be
And love made sweet and sad the same
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out, aren't you?

You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

Maybe it was to learn how to fight
Maybe it was for the lesson in pride
Maybe it was for the cowboys' ways

Or maybe it was to learn not to lie
Or maybe it was to learn how to cry
Or maybe it was for the love we made

Oh, love is everything they said it would be
And love did not hold back the reins
But love forgot to make me too blind to see
You're chickening out, aren't you?

You're bangin' on the beach like an old tin drum
I can't wait 'til you make the whole kingdom come
So I'm leaving

First he turns to you, then he turns to her
So you try to hurt him back
But it breaks your body down
So you try to love bigger, bigger still
But it, it's too late

So take a lesson from the strangeness you feel
And know you'll never be the same
And find it in your heart to kneel down and say
I gave my love, didn't I?

And I gave it big sometimes
And I gave it in my own sweet time
I am just leaving
I am just leaving

Love is everything
Love is everything
Love is everything
Love is everything
Love is everything
Love is everything

Jane Siberry (born October 12, 1955 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is most famous for her early 1980s new wave hits such as 'Mimi on the Beach', 'I Muse Aloud' and 'One More Colour'. Internationally, she is best known for her 1993 album 'When I Was a Boy'. Her first self-titled album was released in 1981.

Following the commercial failure of her 1995 album Maria , Siberry founded her own independent label, Sheeba Records. She has released all of her subsequent material on that label. Her public profile has been lower since she became an independent artist; however, she retains a devoted cult following.

Early in 2006, she closed her Sheeba office, then sold and gave away nearly all of her possessions -- including her home and instruments. She presently retains one travelling guitar, but none of the other instruments featured on her albums and in her concerts.

On June 3, 2006, somewhere in northwestern Europe, Siberry changed her name to Issa. She revealed her new name to the public on June 24, 2006. She has also indicated, however, that her older music will remain available for sale under the name Jane Siberry; only her new material will be released as Issa. Read more on Last.fm.
