Bad For You
Nelson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will gather stars out of the blue
For you, yes baby for you
I'll make a string of pearls out of the dew
For you, yes baby for you

Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet
Oh, well, it's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do, for you, yes baby for you

Over the highway and over the street
Carpets of clover I'll lay at your feet

Oh, well, it's nothing in this world
I wouldn't do, for you, yes baby for you

Oh, I wouldn't do, yes baby for you




Oh I wouldn't do, yes baby for you
Oh I wouldn't do
