Manfred Mann - I Came For You
Princess cards she sends me, with her regards
Oh barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.
You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts honey,
get your carpetbaggers off my back, go give me time to cover my tracks.
"Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks".
But they're not what I came for, oh I came for so much more,
and I know you know that too, and I know you know that too!
I came for you, I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you!
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
reveal yourself all to me now, while you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue, with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask.
Don't call for your surgeon even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows and I’ve rammed through all the doors
And who will might ask you about my walls
And you should know that's true... and you should know that too.
I came for you, I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you!
Oh barroom eyes shine vacancy, to see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle, I stand stuffed like some soldier undaunted
To her Cheshire smile, I'll stand on file, she's all I ever wanted.
You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts honey,
get your carpetbaggers off my back, go give me time to cover my tracks.
"Here's your mirror and your ball and jacks".
But they're not what I came for, oh I came for so much more,
and I know you know that too, and I know you know that too!
I came for you, I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you!
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is getting weak
reveal yourself all to me now, while you've got the strength to speak
Cause they're waiting for you at Bellevue, with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask.
Don't call for your surgeon even he says it's late
It's not your lungs this time, but your heart holds your fate
Don't give me my money back, don't want it anymore
It's not that nursery mouth I came back for
It's not the way you're stretched out on the floor
I've broken all your windows and I’ve rammed through all the doors
And who will might ask you about my walls
And you should know that's true... and you should know that too.
I came for you, I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you!
