A Song For You (Once Beaten Black And Blue)

There's something we could be doing

Like searchin for murder clues

Did you look beyond the fields

Out where the young men yield

And there's a lad with an axe

Who sits still as wax

You see him right away

And I said time and time again

That you'll never find a friend

Not now you're crazy

Learn how to treat your lady

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?

Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?

And you can see the pain in his eyes

That's he's witnessed a million crimes

And heard thе women cry, how they don't wanna die

But you can tеll that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug

Well those days are over

Get close enough he'll show ya

But I won't let you get me down, no I won't let you get me down

They're all as good as dead as you can't

Live without your head

And tie them up by their hands

And make your wish their commands

And his crimes were so obscene as they have made a massive scene

You could nearly scream

And it could be my heartbreak but I swear that I felt the ground shake

Must be an earthquake

Each one of his mistakes

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?

Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?

And you can see the pain in his eyes

That's he's witnessed a million crimes

And heard the women cry, how they don't wanna die

But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug

Well those days are over

Get close enough he'll show ya

Would you attempt to take his side if it means you would survive?

But it's not too easy

To escape the face of crazy

I could see him comin

Should've started off by running

Cause he doesn't have the kindest heart

His eyes might say hello

But his fists will give a blow

I'll clench my five, run back and fight

What would you say to a man if he tried to kill you with his hands?

Would you tell him you love him, or even try to hug him?

And you can see the pain in his eyes

That's he's witnessed a million crimes

And heard the women cry, how they don't wanna die

But you can tell that he's lost love cause he's not always been a thug

Well those days are over

Get close enough he'll show ya

And this is a song for you

Once beaten black and blue

But he still loves you

And girl he wants to hold you at night
