For You

Princess card, she sends me with her regards

Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy, to see her, you gotta look hard

Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted

To her cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted

You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey

Get your carpetbaggers off my back

Girl, give me time to cover my tracks

Here's your mirror, and your ball and jacks

But they're not what I came for

Oh, I came for so much more

And I know you know that too (I came for you)

And I know you know that's true (I came for you)

I came for you, I came for you

I came for you, for you, I came for you

Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is gettin' weak

Reveal yourself all to me now, while you've got the strength to speak

'Cause they're waitin' for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks

But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask

Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's late

It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate

Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore

It's not that nursery mouth I came back for

It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor

I've broken all your windows, and I've rammed through all your doors

And who am I to ask you to fight my wars?

And you should know that's true (I came for you)

You should know that too (I came for you)

I came for you, I came for you

I came for you, for you, I came for you

Don't call for your surgeon, even he says it's late

It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate

Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore

It's not that nursery mouth I came back for

It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor

I've broken all your windows, and I've rammed through all your doors

Who am I to ask you to fight my wars?

You should know that's true (I came for you)

You should know that too (I came for you)

I came for you, I came for you

I came for you, I came for you

I came for you, for you, I came for you

(I came for you)

(I came for you)
