Karaoké For You Manfred Mann's Earth Band

Princess cards she sends me

With her regards

Oh barroom 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've got the strength to speak

'Cos 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

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

I came for you

I came for you

For you

I came for you

I came for you

I came for you
