  • (Come here babe why are you crying?
    Because I want to stay with you
    Your mommy loves you very much)

    Communication, I wait to see if we could ever get together
    And talk like we used to
    We get together and we talk like we used to
    But you don't want to, you want a separation
    And now that's strike three
    I try everything, I work so hard for you
    To constantly hear how I fail and abandon you

    I put my heart in a dream
    And now that dream it makes sure the baby
    She has food to eat and your fancy house
    gets paid for you hear me?
    You never learned one thing, no you never believed in me
    So if you're gonna leave get out
    Just remember this is what I'm all about

    I do it for the love
    I do it for the rain
    I do it for the passion
    I do it for the pain
    I do it for the rush
    I do it for the doubt
    I do it for my daughter
    Man, 'cause she's what I'm about
    I do it for my mom
    I do it for my dad

    Do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
    I do it for the audience who understands the need
    Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed
    So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down
    Just remember that I told you it's what I'm all about
    Wait wait wait

    I missed the tour where you told me not to come home again
    An ex-boyfriend was taking my place at our first Lamaze
    (You've gotta be kidding me)
    How hard that was because 'cause your voice so crooked and wrong,
    You would bury your intentions like
    Motherfucking nuclear bomb (nuclear bomb)

    I lived in a hotel room 'til the day she was born
    And I never knew what it was to say
    That could get us through our first chance at divorce
    You promised change and I believed
    I walked right back into the same
    So if you're gonna leave me, go away

    I do it for the love
    I do it for the rain
    I do it for the passion
    I do it for the pain
    I do it for the rush,
    I do it for the doubt
    I do it for my daughter
    Man, 'cause she's what I'm about
    I do it for my mom,
    I do it for my dad

    I do it for my sanity hanging from a thread
    I do it for the audience who understands the need
    Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

    I do it for my brother
    I do it for his wife
    I do it for my manager, cause god he saved my life
    I do it for the confidence
    I do it for release
    I do it cause I'm sick of feeling sad, it's war and peace
    I do it for the sunshine
    For my friends

    I do it for you, for you over and over and over again
    But you would never understand, so fuck it
    So pack it up, pack it in, write it up, write it down
    Remember I told you it's what I'm all about
    (Get out, go away)

    I do it for the love
    I do it for the rain
    I do it for the passion
    I do it for the pain
    I do it for the rush
    I do it for the doubt
    I do it for my daughter
    Man, 'cause she's what I'm about
    I do it for my mom
    I do it for my dad

    I do it for my sanity, it's hanging from a thread
    I do it for the audience who understands the need
    Standing on the stage, cut the shit and let it bleed

    I do it for the love
    For the love
    Do it for the love for the love
    I do it for the love
    Do it do it do it
    For the love
    For my daughter

    So pack it up, pack it in, write it up write it down
    Just remember that I told you, it's what I'm all about Writer/s: JUSTIN FURSTENFELD
