For The Love
(Come here... babe why are you crying?)(Because I want to stay with you!)(Your mommy loves you very much)
CommunicationI wait to see if we could ever get togetherAnd talk like we used toWe get together and we talk like we used toBut you don't want toYou want a separationAnd now that's strike threeI tried everythingI work so hard for youTo constantly hear how I fail and abandon youI put my heart in a dreamAnd now that dream, it makes sure the baby,She has food to eatAnd your fancy house gets paid forYou hear me?You never learned one thing, noYou never believed in meSo if you're gonna leave, get outJust remember this is what I'm all about
[Chorus:]I do it for the loveI do it for the rainI do it for the passionI do it for the painI do it for the rushI do it for the doubtI do it for my daughter, man'Cause she's what I'm aboutI do it for my momI do it for my dadDo it for my sanity, it's hanging from a threadI do it for the audience who understands the needStanding on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
So pack it up, pack it inWrite it up, write it downJust remember that I've told youIt's what I'm all aboutWait, wait, wait
I missed the tour where you told me not to come home againAn ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze(You've gotta be kidding me)How hard that was because'Cause your voice's so crooked and wrongYou bury your intentions like motherfucking nuclear bombs (Nuclear bombs!)I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was bornAnd I never knew what words to sayThat could get us through our first chance at divorceYou promised change and I believedI walked right back into the sameSo if you're gonna leave meGo away
[Chorus]
I do it for my brotherI do it for his wifeI do it for my manager'Cause, God, he saved my lifeI do it for the confidenceI do it for releaseI do it 'cause I'm sick of feeling sadness full of peaceI do it for the sunshineFor my friendsI did it for youFor you over and over and over againBut you would never understandSo fuck it!So pack it up, pack it inWrite it up, write it downJust remember that I've told you it's what I'm all about(Get out!)(Go away!)
