For the love of Pete 
you were no cheat 
although you could have been a little more discrete 
you did it all for the love of Pete 

For Pete's sake, for my sake 
you were no birthday cake 
and each one could have had his own share - oh 
someone had to win, someone had to loose 
but you were the one who had to choose 
it was the love of Pete that you wanted 
I guess there was no way that I could compete 
you did it all for the love of Pete 
for the love of Pete, for the love of Pete - oh
