We'll remember you forever, Eddie
Through the sacrifice you made
We can't believe the price you paid
For love (for love)
For love (for love)
Little Eddie Mitty, born in Jersey City
Started singing when he was five
Never knew his father, mother didn't bother
To catch his last name fast as he came
He was off and flying, times were really trying
Eddie and his mother alone
Soon another mister, soon a baby sister
Mama kept swinging and Eddie kept singing
Ah, ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya
For love, for love
And now, the tragic story
Eddie's sister, Mary Louise, needed an operation
To get the money he would have to become an overnight sensation
Eddie believed the American people had wonderful, love-giving hearts
His well publicized end, he considered would send
His memorial album to the top of the charts and it did
Ya, ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya
Ya, ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya, ya ya ya ya
Goodbye, goodbye
When a young singer dies to our shock and surprise
In a plane crash or flashy sports car
He becomes quite well known and the kindness he's shown
Has made more than one post mortem star
Well you did it Eddie, and though it's hard to applaud suicide
You gave all you could give, so your sister could live
All America's choked up inside, man
We'll remember you forever Eddie
Through the sacrifice you made
We can't believe the price you paid
For love (for love)
For love (for love)
For love (for love)
