I Would Do For You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I didn't mean to be so late
It's just that I got talking
I had a drink with a couple of mates
Missed my bus and wound up walking
I tried to call and let you know
It was busy and I couldn't get through
I didn't want to let you down
I know how much it hurts you
I don't know what came over me
It must have slipped my mind
I'll try and make it up to you
Let's leave the past behind
I promise that I'll do my best
To mend my wicked ways
And don't believe the things you hear
Don't listen to what they say
(Chorus)
I would do for you
All you'd have me do
All you have to do
Is ask me to
All you have to do
Is tell me when
And I'll come running back again
If there's something wrong then let me know
Don't bottle things inside
Your pretty eyes can melt my heart
Your sadness they can't hide
Please try and give me one more chance
To set the record straight
Meet me here tomorrow night
And I promise I won't be late
(Chorus)
I would do for you.......
