For Your Life lyrics
by Led Zeppelin



You said I was the only, with my lemon in your hand (uh-oh, uh-oh)Exhibition is your habit - emotion second hand (uh-oh, uh-oh)Had to pull away to save me - maybe next time aroundAnd she said: Don't you wanna - don't you wanna cocai-cocai-cocaine?Hadn't planned to - could not stand to try it, fry it (na na na na yeah)Heard a cry for mercy in the city of the damned (uh-oh, baby, damn)In the pits you go no lower - the next stop's underground (hello underground)Your wine and roses ain't quite over - fate deals a losing handAnd I said: didn't mean to - did not mean to failYou didn't plan it - you over-ran itYou wanna do it - you wanna do it when you wannaYou wanna do it - wanna do it - do it when you wannaWhen you blow it, baby, you got to blow it rightOh, if you fake it, mama; baby, fake with all your mightWhen you fake it, mama, please fake it right (for yourself, baby)When you f-f-f-fake it, baby, you're fakin' it for your lifeFor your life, for your life, for your lifeDo it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it when you wannaDo it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it when you wannaOh, I can have you, baby, But I don't know what to do, yeahSometime, baby, nothin' I could doOn the balance of the crystal - payin' through the noseAnd when they couldn't resist you, I thought you'd go with the flow.And now your stage is empty, bring down the curtain, baby please.Fold up your showHadn't planned to, Could not stand to fry in itHadn't planned it, I over-ran it, (fryin)For your life, For your life.
