i wrote this song for you 'cause you don't like rock n' roll
i know you used to do but we both know that was so long ago
so do what you wanna do but don't say you didn't know
'cause i wrote this whole thing for you
and i ain't gonna write you no more songs no more
with your pretty face and your backlit smile
all dressed in red and black
high-heeled boots like a prostitute
with them silver buckles all down the back
and you got your lipstick on
like candy apple red
try to tell me something
baby i ain't heard a single word you said
and i wrote this song for you 'cause you don't like rock n' roll
i know you used to do but we both know that was so long ago
so do what you wanna do but don't say you didn't know
'cause i wrote this whole thing for you
and i ain't gonna write you no more songs no more
you look so damn good that i wish i could
but i'd never ever try
made a pass in the back of a laundromat and i fell for you
and you wonder why i wrote this song for you
and i hope you understand
i know it's not that good but baby
i think you should give it a chance
i wrote this song for you 'cause you don't like rock n' roll
