I Did It All For You (Single Version) Lyrics by Eddie Kendricks

The Complete Motown Singles | Vol. 11B: 1971

1971

[Verse 1]
I know I made you cry with some of those crazy things I did
And lots of times you thought that I was acting like a kid
But I want you to know my love, that everything I did
I didn't do for myself, I did it all, I did it all for you
Ooh, I did it all for you
Ooh

[Verse 2]
I may have said a lot of things you didn't understand
But all I ever tried to do was lend a helping hand
All I ever wanted darling, was just to be your man
I thought you knew, I did it all, I did it all, I did it all for you (I did it all for you)
Yeah, I did it all for you

[Bridge]
Alright, sometimes I cheated
And yes, I guess I've lied every now and then
But before you go, I want you to know
How much I cried
Darling, darling, ooh baby (Baby)

[Verse 3]
Someday you'll be looking back and you'll know I'm not so bad
When you think about all the joy and happiness we've had
The times I've made you happy, darlin', though I was feeling sad and blue
I did it all, I did it all, I did it all for you (I did it all for you, baby)

[Outro]
So go on
Go on and leave me if you want to
I did it all for you, I did it all for you (I did it all for you, baby)
I did, I did, I did
I did it all for you (I did it all for you, baby)
I did, I did
I did it all for you
I did, I did
I did it all for you (I did it all for you, baby)
