For You

Princess cards 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 She said, "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 And I know you know that's true 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 getting weak Reveal yourself all to me now While you got the strength to speak 'Cause they're waiting 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 stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows and I rammed through all your doors And who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know that's true You should know that, too 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 stretched out on the floor I've broken all your windows and I rammed through all your doors Who am I to ask you to fight my wars And you should know that's true 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, for you, I came for you I came for you
