Because of You Songtext
von Shoshana Bean

(Everything I did all that I went through)
(It was you it was all for you)
(All because of you)

Got my nails done on the regular
Kept my hair right didn′t go out at night
Every day at the gym always tryin' to look good for him
(Gotta keep that body tight)
Taking trips buying gifts for no reason
Everything I did wanted to please him
That′s my baby my lover my friend
Wasn't doing it for me
(It's all for him)


But what′s the good of bending over backwards
You don′t appreciate any of the effort
I'm so tired of killing myself all the things that I do
(They don′t mean a thing to you)
So I'm done you heard that′s right I'm through
See if you can find another someone who
Has the patience and care and will always be there
Everything I did because of you

I gave all my time about lost my mind it was all
(Because of you)
Put myself aside swallowed all my pride it was all
(Because of you)
Went the extra mile just to make you smile it was all
(Because of you)
Now I just don′t care so I'm out of here and it's all
Because of you
Because of you, oh
Because of you

(It was you it was all for you)
(Everything I did all that I went through
(It was you it was all for you)
(All because of you)


Wore them high heels pants were fitting tight
Kept my mouth shut acting lady like
Just to give you a trophy a prize
Didn′t want no other girl (To catch your eyes)
Gave you space if it′s what you said you needed
Took you back and forgave you when you cheated
(Nothing I wouldn't give wouldn′t do wouldn't be don′t you see)
(I gave you the best of me)
It's time to go this ain′t no way of living
'Cause with you it's all takin′ and no givin′
What a fool what a coward I was
Can't believe all of the things
(We do for love)

So, I′m done you heard that's right I′m through
You don't think I got the strength but boy I do
So good luck and goodbye no you won′t see my cry
That's one thing I will not do for you, no
(Because of you)
I put myself aside, oh
I went the extra mile
Now I just don't care
(Because of you)
Woooo
(Because of you)
(All because of you)

Everything was all for you
Reached my limit now I′m through
I was blind but now I see I gotta think about me
See if you can find someone
Does for you all that I′ve done
You don't know how lost you′ll be without me

(Because of you)
(I gave all my time about lost my mind it was all)
(Because of you)
(Put myself aside swallowed all my pride it was all)
(Because of you)
(Went the extra mile just to make you smile it was all)
(Because of you)
(Now I just don't care so I′m out of here and it's all)
(Because of you)

(I gave all my time about lost my mind it was all)
(Because of you)
(Put myself aside swallowed all my pride it was all)
(Because of you)
(Went the extra mile just to make you smile it was all)
(Because of you)
(Now I just don′t care so I'm out of here and it's all)
(Because of you)
