Originally recorded by Bruce Springsteen
Princess cards she sends me
with her regards
Oh, bar-room eyes shine vacancy
To see her you gotta look hard
Wounded deep in battle
I stand stuffed like
some soldier undaunted
To her cheshire smile
Ill stand on file
Shes all I ever wanted
You let your blue walls stand
in the way of these facts, honey
Get your carpet baggers off my back
Girl give me time to cover my tracks
You said, Heres your mirror
and your ball and jacks
But theyre not what I came for
Oh I came for so much more
And I know you that too
And I know you know thats true
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you
Crawl into my ambulance
Your pulse is getting weak
Reveal yourself all to me now
While youve got the strength to speak
Cause theyre waiting for you at Bellevue
With their oxygen masks
But I could give it all to you now
If only you could ask
Dont call for your surgeon
Even he says its late
Its not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Dont give me my money back
Dont want it anymore
Its not that nursery mouth
I came back for
Its not the way youre
stretched out on the floor
Ive broken all your windows
And Ive rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
And you should know thats true
You should know that too
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you
Dont call for your surgeon
Even he says its late
Its not your lungs this time
But your heart holds your fate
Dont give me my money back
Dont want it anymore
Its not that nursery mouth
I came back for
Its not the way youre
stretched out on the floor
Ive broken all your windows
And Ive rammed through all your doors
Who am I to ask you to fight my wars
You should know thats true
You should know that too
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
I came for you
For you
I came for you
