A Song for You
SONS OF ALL PUSSYS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs
Made some bad rhyme
I've acted out my life in stages
With ten thousand people watching
But we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

I know your image of me is what I hope to be
I've treated you unkindly but darlin' can't you see
There's no one more important to me
Darlin' can't you see through me
Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song for you

You taught me precious secrets of the truth witholding nothing
You came out in front and I was hiding, ooh yeah
But now I'm so much better
If my words don't come together
Listen to the melody cause my love is in there hiding

Ooh, ooh ooh mmm
Oooh yeah yeah yeah
Oooh, oh
Oh yeah

I love you in a place where there's no space or time
I love you for in my life cause you are a friend of mine
And when my life is over
Remember when we were together, together
We were alone and I was singing this song for you
Oooh oh, oh

Oooh I, oooh I love you
In a place where there's no space or time
I love you, I love you, love you for my life
Cause you are a friend of mine
When my life, when my life is over
Remember when we were together, baby
We were alone and I was singing this song for you, ooh
We were alone now and I was singing this song for you
Say, said we were alone and I was singing this song for
Yeah yeah, yeah

Singing this song for you, you yeah
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mmm yeah yeah
Ohhh ooh yeah
Singing this song, singing this song, singing this song for you
