  • Swinging in the backyard
    Pull up in your fast car whistling my name

    Open up a beer
    And you say, "Get over here," and play a video game

    I'm in his favorite sun dress
    Watching me get undressed, take that body downtown

    I say, "You da bestest"
    Lean in for a big kiss, put his favorite perfume on

    "Go play your video game"

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you
    Everything I do
    I tell you all the time
    Heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you want to do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    And baby, now you do

    Singing in the old bars
    Swinging with the old stars
    Living for the fame

    Kissing in the blue dark
    Playing pool and wild darts
    Video games

    He holds me in his big arms
    Drunk and I am seeing stars
    This is all I think of

    Watching all our friends fall
    In and out of Old Paul's
    This is my idea of fun
    Playing video games

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you
    Everything I do
    I tell you all the time
    Heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you want to do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    Baby now you do (now you do)

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you
    Everything I do
    I tell you all the time
    Heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you want to do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    Baby, now you do
    (Now you do, now you do, now you do)

    Now you do
