ASpecially when that president's ERonald Reagan, Dhe almost killed us Aall
JoAhn Hinckley Jr. might have Ebeen a little crazy
DFor getting so obsesseAd with Jodie EFoster
ABut how can you Eblame him, Dwhen she's so beautAiful
AAnd he did it all for love, Ehe did it all for love
DHe did it all for love, Ait was all for loveE  D
