Green, Al - Livin' For You Lyrics

I'm living for you. Praying for you. Working for you.

Walk out and say goodbye.

This was when music was music

My Meeka......LA..

I'm tired of your bright ideas about leaving me.But you know you ain't going nowhere But here with me... Holla if you Hear Me Men

Al made hits but this was the one for me

When soul music had romance.

Still 👂🏾♥️2019

Yes,I still Love this song,But I used to sing having you been making out okay,to my mama and daddy,driving down I-10east La.just to see how they were getting alone....lol,the sweet memories. 🍾🥂

Al green remind me how black people love one another back n the day.

Al green bring back how black people used to one another.

Loving you

This song means a lot to me. This was my late fiancee's theme song to me. He really LIVED FOR ME. HE WORKED FOR ME.I miss you Frankie. I haven't been the same since The Lord took you. R.I.P. BABY.

Don't make me. Cry. Babe!

Love 2019

I came into this world because of All Green,he is one of my most favorites of all times. much love ms.tonya

I sung this song to a boyfriend...made eye contact at 1:20...”I’m tried of the bright ideas about leaving me...you know you’re not going nowhere but here with me”...now he’s ‘HUBBY’ 😘

Just love you

Gets all in your bones, infects your soul. Makes you scrunch up your face in pure audio happiness.

wish i could go back to 1973. lol

YOU NO THAT I'LL AM ... and that the true

I HAVE BEEN AND JUST NEVER REALLY KNEW IT , Livin TO SEE YOU AGAIN AND HOPING TO TELL YOU ( WHY ) I REALLY MOVE OUT ( NOT) BECAUSE I DIDN'T LOVE YOU ... BECAUSE YOUR GIRLFRIEND TOLD ME OVER THE PHONE THAT SHE WAS GOING TO MOVE IN THE HOUSE ( OUR) HOUSE AT THAT TIME AND FOR ME JUST TO MOVE ON WITH MY LIFE. I WAS HURT IN MORE WAY THAN 1- YOU PUTTING YOUR HAND ON ANOTHER WOMEN WITH A RING ON YOUR FINGER ( AND THAT WITCH CALLING ME AND TELLING ME THAT YOU AND HER WENT RIDING UP TO YOUR COLLEGE IN OUR CAR JUST CALLING ME PERIOD. AND HOPING TO TELL YOU THAT I LOVE YOU ALL THIS TIME MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS REAL LOVE.

My song here 2002 gave birth🌟🐈🌞🎑🐥💛😊💯

PRAY FOR YOU

I'M AM PRAYING FOR US BOTH AND NOW A THIRD PERSON ( BABY).

Al Green. Livin' For You. 1973.wmv 2018

Heard "Unchained Melody" on Pandora around 2:00AM and it brought back so many "back in the day" memories when young men were romantic, stylized and clean. They knew how to hold you when dancing close and they smelled so very good. I'm glad I lived to love and have fun. Hallelujah!!!! Thank you Al!!
