For You Lyrics

[Intro]
Dating Courtesy: A girl is right to assume her date
Will perform little acts of courtesy
Which are his privilege
(For you)
If you are smart, you will allow him
To open doors and hold chairs
Don't barge on ahead like a baby elephant
(For you)
You'll get attention, all right
But it won't be favorable
(For you)
It is correct to pause and let him know
You expect him to act like a gentleman
He'll love it and think you're a lady
(For you)
And in return, it will flatter his masculine ego

[Bridge]
For you (For you)
For you, I wonder if
For you, I wonder if
For you, I wonder if
For you, for you
(For you)


[Verse 1]
Excuse me for a second
While I bang my head against this wall

And I'm starting to suspect
You don't intend to do what you say at all

Forgive your loyal sycophant
For leaving lipstick stains upon your shoes

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
