[bad word] 
I wait to see if we could ever get together
 And talk like we used to
We get together and we'd talk…like we used to
 But you don't want to
you want a separation
and now that's strike three
I tried everything, I work so hard for you
to constantly hear how I fail and abandon you

I put my heart in a dream
and now that dream it makes sure
 the baby, she has food to eat
and your fancy house gets paid for, you hear me?
 you never learned one thing
no, you never believed in me
so if you're gonna leave get out
just remember this is what I'm all about…

I do it for the love
I do it for the rain
I do it for the passion
i do it for the pain
i do it for [bad word] i do it for the doubt
i do it for my daughter, man
 cuz she's what I'm about
i do it for my mom
i do it for my dad
i do it for my sanity
 its hanging from a thread
i do it for the audience
 who understands the need
standing on the stage cut the [bad word]  and let it bleed

so pack it up, pack it in
write it up, write it down
just remember that i told you
it's what I'm all about

i’ll miss the tour where you told me
“not [bad word] home again”
an ex-boyfriend was taking my place
 at our first Lamaze
how hard that was because
your voice so crooked and wrong
you were proud of your intentions like a [bad word]  nuclear bomb

so I lived in a hotel room
 till the day she was born
and i never knew what words to say
that could get us through our first chance
 at divorce
you promised change and i believed,
I walked right back into the same
so if you're gonna leave…
go away

I do it for the love
I do it for the rain
I do it for the passion
i do it for the pain
i do it for [bad word] i do it for the doubt
i do it for my daughter, man
 cuz she's what I'm about
i do it for my mom
i do it for my dad
i do it for my sanity
 its hanging from a thread
i do it for the audience
 who understands the need
standing on the stage cut the [bad word]  and let it bleed
I do it for my brother
I do it for his wife
I do it for my manager
 cuz God he saved my life
I do it for the confidence
I do it for release
I do it cuz i'm sick of being sad
 it's for the peace
I do it for the sunshine
for my friends
I did it for you…for you
 over and over and over again
but you'll never understand
 (so [bad word] it)

so pack it up, pack it in
write it up, write it down
just remember that i told you
it's what I'm all about

Get out...get outta my life...

I do it for the LOVE…for the love...
for my daughter...for my daughter
for the love...for my daughter...
