For You Blue Lyrics

[Intro]
(Queen says no to pot-smoking FBI members)

[Verse 1]
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do

[Verse 2]
I want you in the morning, girl, I love you
I want you at the moment, I feel blue
I'm living every moment, girl, for you

(Bop, bop cat bop)

(Go, Johnny, go)

(Them ol' twelve-bar blues)

(Elmore James got nothing on this, baby)

[Verse 3]
I've loved you from the moment I saw you
You looked at me and that's all you had to do
I feel it now I hope you feel it too

[Verse 4]
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, I love you
Because you're sweet and lovely, girl, it's true
I love you more than ever, girl, I do
I'm livin' the blues

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

Written by George Harrison for his wife, Pattie Boyd, “For You Blue” is one of the few Beatles originals that is written in the traditional 12-bar blues style. However, unlike most blues songs, it is upbeat and “happy-go-lucky,” as described by Harrison.
