For The Love Of Ivy Lyrics

I never thought I'd try
For the love of Ivy,
I never thought I'd cry
For the love of Ivy.
Somebody hide me
From the love, the love of Ivy.
It takes up all of your time
To fall in love with Ivy.
(Here cometh Ivy ! Ivy…)

If I gathered all my means
In a pile beside me,
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams
For the love of Ivy.
Money cannot buy me,
Buy for me the love of Ivy,
I'm not the kind of guy
Who falls in love with Ivy.
Ivy...

For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy (yeah, yeah…)
For the love of Ivy, for the love of Ivy,
For the love of Ivy, for the love of Ivy...

If I gathered all my means
In a pile beside me,
It wouldn't help to fill my dreams
For the love of Ivy.
Somebody hide me
From the love, love, love, la-la-love…
It takes up all of your time
To fall in love with Ivy.

For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy (yeah, yeah…)
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy… (darling, darling Ivy)
For the love of Ivy… (darling, darling Ivy)
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy,
For the love of Ivy…
For the love of Ivy…

My parents listened to this song when I was little, and I really loved it. When I was listening to it recently, it struck me how obsessive and unhappy the lyrics of this love song were, and now I think it is actually a song about addiction, and the love of "Ivy" is actually the love of IV drugs.
