I got the Chevy all shined up Paid a little more for a hair cut Ironed up a pearl snap Left that old ball cap Gave myself a little extra smell good splash I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette I did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl I dialed her up some more George Strait Me and old George sang Marina Del Rey There by the water's edge Big sky turnin' red That perfect night she said she can't forget I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette I did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl I did it for that long hair, fallin' down, layin' on her shoulders Those blue eyes want me to hold her I did it for the girl Dancin' in the sunset Get to see her sippin' on Corona, little silhouette I did it for the moonlight, slow ride, slidin' over by my side Been waiting on that all night kiss I did it for the girl Dancin' on the front porch Reachin' out to grab my shirt, pull me through the front door I did it for the midnight, candlelight, anything to make her mine All mine I did it for the girl I did it for the girl

I caught you romancing in another mans arms, It hurt me so much, My whole life fell apart, How could this be, Your cheating on me, At first i was sad, But now i am glad. You couldn't be the girl for me, Couldn't be the girl for me, Couldn't be the girl for me, Couldn't be the girl for me. Love make you blind as a bat, But now i can see, I thought you were special, The only girl for me, You've been telling me lies, With your foolish allerbys, Now i recognise, The unfaithfulness in your eyes. With a second time, Comes another lie, Girl you never learn, You look me in the eyes, Tellin me a pack of lies, A when you gona learn, With another lie, When you gona learn, You look me the eyes, Tellin me a pack of lies. Love make you blind as a bat, But now i can see, I thought you were special, The only girl for me, You've been telling me lies, With your foolish allerbys, Now i recognise, The unfaithfulness in your eyes.

And how come it always felt like you were taking something away when you were giving head? It's a promise and a threat to say the "F" word, so be careful who you screw For you I used up all this latent energy for you Tell me, was everything you ever said to me just for you? Still thinking there was something in a girl's underwear that could change me Like I was still in middle school, like a fool For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if, for you Lonesome poets throwing glitter in their hair (For you) Doing somersaults and exploding in mid-air (For you) But you don't ever notice, or you don't care, or both And when they take off all their clothes, they're still not close enough For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if For you, for you For you, I wonder if
