OPENER    Basic

4 ladies chain across the ring
Turn and chain them back again
Join hands, circle left
Allemande left and weave the ring
I'm only in it for the love and affection
Dosado and promenade that direction
I guess the question that I'm really asking
Is do you want a love that's everlasting

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads square thru count me 4 hands round now
A right hand star and turn it one time round
Heads star left go all the way back
Meet your corner, touch 1/4, scoot back boys
Boys run right, clap your hands
And do a left allemande
Swing your girl, promenade the set now
*Let me say before my heart starts showing
I'm only in it for the love

MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER    Mainstream

Sides face, grand square
I'm only in it for the love and affection
I think I'm headed in the right direction
I guess the question that I'm really asking
Do you want a love that's everlasting
4 ladies chain go across the ring then
You can chain them back and promenade again now
Before we go on I thought I ought to mention
I'm only in it for the love

I'm Only In It For The Love

Lyrics ID: 1694

There's something you got that really gets me going
It's hard to believe the way the feeling's growing
So let me say before my heart starts showing
I'm only in it for the love

I want you to know you got my full attention
And every move is with my best intention
Before we go on I thought I ought to mention
I'm only in it for the love

I'm only in it for the love and affection
I think I'm headed in the right direction
I guess the question that I'm really asking
Is "Do you want a love that's everlasting?"

So many times I've let my heart get broken
I closed my eyes and left myself wide open
And now I only deal in real emotions
I'm only in it for the love

I'm only in it for the love and affection
I think I'm headed in the right direction
I guess the question that I'm really asking
Is "Do you want a love that's everlasting?"

So many times I've let my heart get broken
I closed my eyes and left myself wide open
And now I only deal in real emotions
I'm only in it for the love
