For You
Miss Montreal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An introduction that slapped me in the face quite hard
Many drinks and so much wiser I am now
Let me tell you that your music and I had a ball
Now it's time for me to give you something back
So I'll sing like you did then and hope you're thankfull for that
This one's for you
This one's for you alright
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you alright now now
Now you're living on a farm and God knows where
What do you do, do you remember who I am
The possibility to thank you in this song
Is the best way I could ever think of
Now it's time for me to give you something back
So I'll sing like you did then and hope you're thankfull for that
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you alright
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you alright now now
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you alright
This one's for you
This one's for you
This one's for you alright now now now now
This one's for you [6x]
