Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Princess card, she sends me with her regards
Oh, bar-room 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
[Verse 2]
You let your blue walls get in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpetbaggers off my back
Girl, 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
[Verse 3]
And I know you know that too (I came for you)
And I know you know that's true (I came for you)
I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
[Verse 4]
Crawl into my ambulance, your pulse is gettin' weak
Reveal yourself all to me now, while you've got the strength to speak
'Cause they're waitin' for you at Bellevue with their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now, if only you could ask
[Verse 5]
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 your doors
And who am I to ask you to fight my wars?
[Verse 6]
And you should know that's true (I came for you)
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
[Verse 7]
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 your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars?
[Verse 8]
You should know that's true (I came for you)
You should know that too (I came for you)
I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, I came for you
I came for you, for you, I came for you
[Verse 9]
(I came for you)
(I came for you)
