Lyrics Johnny Rivers

Johnny Rivers

For You

Sweet lovin' woman, hard livin' man

Layin' it out the best that I can

For you, for you

Reachin' for stars flightin' the moon

Findin' the words and learnin' the tune

For you, for you

I've had some fancy shelter

And I've been left out in the rain

You're the only pleasure I've had for all my pain

Cravin' some rest washed up at your door

Wasted the best, but I'm askin' for more

For you, for you

Burnin' so hard tryin' to shine

Wishin' the water would turn into wine

For you, for you

Even when I came down to the end

I turned it around and started over again

For you, I did it for you

I've had some fancy shelter

And I've been left out in the rain

You're the only pleasure I've had for all my pain

Cravin' some rest washed up at your door

Wasted the best, but I'm askin' for more

For you, oh for you

Burnin' so hard tryin' to shine

Wishin' the water would turn into wine

For you, nobody but you

Even when I came down to the end

I turned it around and started over again

For you, for you, for you

I did it for you.
