Joe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ohh Baby,Ah
There is chillen base rom
And it's coming from you
I feel like a stranger
I need an answer
Tell me what you going through
I saw you cryin' on the night
You turned your back, turned off the light
Now how can I help you,
If you never tell me
Exactly what you going through

[Pre Chorus]
She said lately
You ain't been spend time lately
I ain't been in your mind baby
You didn't even say
I love and more

[Chorus]
Every Thing I do
I do for you
Every Breath I take
I breathe for two
Every word I say
My hole life through
Just to metaphor
For I love you

It is savable
Without a see
Or you where a day
But without me
Every thing I am
And all I do
Just to metaphor
For I love you


?? my feelings are might not be the best but
That doesn't mean that I love you any less
'cause all I do
Is think of youu
Do I may not even know this when you wear a new dress I
Always treat you with love and respect
See I donting new things any be impressed
'cause your my uhhhhh

[Pre Chorus]
She said lately
You ain't been spend time lately
I ain't been in your mind baby
You didn't even say
I love and more( but I do, baby)

[Chorus]
Every Thing I do
I do for you
Every Breath I take
I breathe for two
Every word I say
My hole life through
Just to metaphor
For I love you

It is savable
Without a see
Or you where a day
But without me
Every thing I am
And all I do
Just to metaphor
For I love you

Now I know
All you need is attention ( give it to her, give it to her)
And I know
Sometimes you need to mention (she's sexy, she's sexy)
And I know
I gotta make her feel
She's the most beautiful girl in the world

[Chorus]
Every Thing I do
I do for you
Every Breath I take
I breathe for two
Every word I say
My hole life through
Just to metaphor
For I love you

It is savable
Without a see
Or you where a day
But without me
Every thing I am
And all I do
Just to metaphor
For I love you (And I love you)

[Chorus]
Every Thing I do
I do for you
Every Breath I take
I breathe for two
Every word I say
My hole life through
Just to metaphor
For I love you

It is savable
Without a see
Or you where a day
But without me
Every thing I am
And all I do
Just to metaphor
For I love you( Ohhhhh)

Chorus]
Every Thing I do
I do for you ( I do it for you, baby)
Every Breath I take
I breathe for two
Every word I say
My hole life through
Just to metaphor
For I love you

It is savable
Without a see
Or you were a day
But without me
Every thing I am
And all I do




Just to metaphor
For I love you
