This One's for the Girls - Martina McBride

There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two And three or four I owe more than a few For all the times I couldn't find the answers Stumbling through the dark without a clue This one's for you Mom and dad, they always did their best For a crazy fool who couldn't help himself I thank God they were there to see me through This one's for you I told you all I'd write you a song Pour my heart in a melody to keep you singing along This might not be the right time These might not be the right lines to prove Or say what I'm trying to But this one's for you I've been knocked down time and time again Got picked back up by luck and a few good friends Who reminded me of all I stood to lose This one's for you Yeah, I told you all I'd write you a song Pour my heart in a melody to keep you singing along This might not be the right time These might not be the right lines to prove Or say what I'm trying to This one's for you Made more than my fair share of the same mistakes Bridges burned, lessons learned A few things that I can't change Some apologies are way past overdue So this one's for you Oh, I told you all I'd write you a song Pour my heart in a melody to keep you singing along This might not be the right time And these might not be the right lines to prove Or say what I'm trying to This one's for you There's a couple people that I owe a beer or two And three or four I owe more than a few

Remember how we used to party up all night? Sneakin' out and lookin' for a taste of real life Drinkin' in the small town firelight (Pabst Blue Ribbon on ice) Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Walkin' down the streets as they whistle, "Hi, hi!" Stealin' police cars with the senior guys Teachers said we'd never make it out alive There she was, my new best friend High heels in her hand, swayin' in the wind While she starts to cry Mascara running down her little Bambi eyes "Lana, how I hate those guys" This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen And that's where the beginnin' of the end begun Everybody knew that we had too much fun We were skippin' school and drinkin' on the job With the boss Sweet sixteen, and we had arrived Baby's table dancin' at the local dive Cheerin' our names in the pink spotlight Drinkin' cherry schnapps in the velvet night Yo, we used to go break into the hotel Glimmerin', we'd swim Runnin' from the cops in our black bikini tops Screamin', "Get us while we're hot, get us while we're hot" (C'mon, take a shot) This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen The prettiest in-crowd that you had ever seen Ribbons in our hair, and our eyes gleamed mean A freshmen generation of degenerate beauty queens And you know somethin'? They were the only friends I ever had We got into trouble and when stuff got bad I got sent away, I was wavin' on the train platform Cryin' 'cause I know I'm never comin' back This is what makes us girls We all look for heaven and we put our love first Somethin' that we'd die for, it's our curse Don't cry about it, don't cry about it This is what makes us girls We all stick together 'cause we put our love first Don't cry about him, don't cry about him It's all gonna happen

The girl in the pastry shop with the net in her hair Is making a cannoli for you to take on your hiking trip in the woods With your bros that you've known since second grade and you May encounter dragons and ruffians and be Called upon to employ your testosterone In a battle for supremacy and access to females glued to the TV And even if you are victorious You may receive many cuts and bruises and scrapes and you will Require band-aids and antiseptic ointments And tender love and kisses on your stab wounds And when you come home she will be there waiting For you with a fire in her eyes And a big fat cannoli to shove in your mouth And that's why you Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls I'm so glad I got a girl to think of Even though she isn't mine I think about her all the day and all the night, it's a 'Nuff to know that she's a-live, she says I Give her sweaty palms, she almost had a heart attack The truth is that I'm just as scared, I don't know how to act I wish that I could get to know her better, but Meeting up in real life would cause illusion to shatter, oh I I carved her name into all the trees I sang a song down on one knee Looking at the underwear page in the Sears catalog like when I was 14 I'm levitating like a magnet turned the wrong way around I'm like an Indian fakir tryin' to meditate On a bed of nails with my pants pulled down Thank God for girls Holla Jesu Christe From Tennessee to LA Thank God for girls On your reckoning day You better bow down and pray She's so big, she's so strong She's so energetic in her sweaty overalls Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls (Thank God for girls) Thank God for girls God took a rib from Adam Ground it up in a centrifuge machine Mixed it with cardamom and cloves Microwaved it on the "Popcorn" setting while Adam was like (woo hoo) "that really hurts" Goin' off into the tundra, so pissed at God And he started lightin' mighty forest fires stealin' osprey eggs Messing with the bees who would try to pollinate the echinacea Until God said "I'm a smite you with loneliness and break your heart in two" And Adam wept and wailed, tearing out his hair Falling on his knees, looked to the sky and said "Thank God"

Hurray for a child that makes it through If there's any way because the answer lies in you They're laid to rest before they've known just what to do Their souls are lost because they could never find What's this life for? What's this life for? What's this life for? What's this life for? I see your soul, it's kind of gray You see my heart, you look away You see my wrist, I know your pain I know you purpose on your plane Don't say your last prayer because you could never find What's this life for? What's this life for? What's this life for? What's this life for? But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle the score 'Cause we all live under the reign of one king But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 'Cause we all live under the reign I said, you know, of one king, one king, one king But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 'Cause we all live under the reign I said, you know, of one king, one king, one king But they ain't here anymore Don't have to settle no Goddamn score 'Cause we all live under the reign of one king

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
