Sing For You Lyrics

You built a little world where you always get to be king
And I’m a little too quick to give my everything
I know it’s no cakewalk working with us
I know you think we’re over ambitious
I know my voice really makes you nervous

You want me to sing for you - Ooh ooh ooh
Now

I don’t sing for you
I don’t sing how you want me to
I never got anywhere doing what you told me to
I know you think you’re some kind of genius
Stoned and coming up with bad ideas
I don’t sing for you anymore, anymore

I know you; you’re nothing new
Another insecure man with something to prove
And I know we’re not what you wanted
I know we’re not what you wanted
I’m sorry that it makes me a little defensive
It’s my whole life; I’m not overreacting
You can barely conceal your contempt; it’s pathetic

You want me to sing for you - Ooh ooh ooh
Now
[Chorus]

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 [?]
