She did it in the name of love
She did it in the name of love
In the name of love
With their best friends as their guests
A few short months and he was gone
He was all she was thinking of
In the back seat of his Malibu
Couldn't choose to take a life so she had a child
She did it in the name of love
Prepared to do
Never gave herself away and cried
And in her mama's wedding dress
He was all she was thinking of
Forever didn't last too long
She did it in the name of love
It's amazing what a heart's
She did it in the name of love
In the name of love
Now, the only thing that keeps her sane
She asked for help but got advice
They made love
Did it in the name of love
And from a distance watched him play
It's amazing what a heart's
She said, "I do"
She drove by his house today
She did it in the name of love
For the worst and for the best
Prepared to do
She said, "I can't afford to raise him right"
Did it in the name of love
But the love they made
Was growing strong inside her
