[Intro: The Shangri-Las & Frankie Cosmos]
Dating Courtesy: A girl is right to assume her date
Will perform little acts of courtesy
Which are his privilege (For you)
If you are smart, you will allow him
To open doors and hold chairs
Don't barge on ahead like a baby elephant (For you)
You'll get attention, all right
But it won't be favorable (For you)
It is correct to pause and let him know
You expect him to act like a gentleman
He'll love it and think you're a lady (For you)
And in return, it will flatter his masculine ego
[Bridge: Frankie Cosmos]
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you, I wonder if
For you, I wonder if
For you, for you (For you)
[Verse 1: Brad Petering]
Excuse me for a second
While I bang my head against this wall
And I'm starting to suspect
You don't intend to do what you say at all
Forgive your loyal sycophant
For leaving lipstick stains upon your shoes
[Chorus: Brad Petering & Frankie Cosmos]
(For you) And I wasted all my favorite melodies for you
And watched best friends turn to enemies for you
You heard I like the bad girls, baby, maybe that's true
For everybody else except—
[Refrain: Frankie Cosmos]
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
[Verse 2: Brad Petering]
Excuse me, miss, but isn't this
Your naked body in my bed?
And how come it always felt like
You were taking something away
When you were giving head?
And it's a promise and a threat to say the F-word
So be careful who you screw
[Chorus: Brad Petering & Frankie Cosmos]
(For you) And I used up all this latent energy for you
Tell me was everything you ever said to me just for you?
Still thinking there was something in a girl's underwear
That could change me, like I was still in middle school, like a fool
[Refrain: Frankie Cosmos]
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
[Verse 3: Brad Petering & Frankie Cosmos]
(For you) Lonesome poets throwing glitter in their hair
(For you) Doing somersaults and exploding in mid-air
(For you) But you don't ever notice, or you don't care, or both
And when they take off all their clothes
Were they still not close enough—?
[Refrain: Frankie Cosmos]
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
