ONLY FOR YOU

Fools gold all around me, it’s so hard to resist
Glittering and worthless
But like my daddy once told me, if it seems too good to be true
Well you get the gist

And my sleepless eyes are cried out for you
The one thing that’s true,
They’re cried out for you
Only for you
Only for you now

Shell game on the street now, it’s so tempting to play
But it only leads to nothing
Cause it always turns out the same
The only way not to lose is to walk away

And my restless arms are reaching for you
The one thing that’s true
Reached out for you,
Only for you
Only for you now

And I’m drained and tired of knowing who won before it’s begun
And I’ve seen every con, every one that’s ever been done under the sun

Dog chasing his tail for hours but he’ll never catch,
Running ‘round in circles
Lord it’s a futile race, it’s always right out of reach
This dog’s met his match

And my restless arms are reaching for you
The one thing that’s true
Reaching out for you,
Only for you
Only for you now
Reaching for you, only for you
Only for you now
It’s reaching for you, only for you
Only for you now
Only for you
