This One's for You Lyrics


Early morning, you're still sleeping.
The silence is singing and it's got me to thinking of
So many love songs,
So many love songs, but This One's for You.

Won't be the last one,
Sure ain't the first to fall for someone and try to put in words.
There are so many love songs, so many love songs,
But this one's for you.

Oh, and I'm not one to carry on and on.
And I may not be the poetic type, no.
I'm not always the most refined, oh but even so,
I just want you to know this is the way I show you how I feel.

You are the rhythm, you are the rhyme.
You are the music and melody and you're the reason behind why there's
So many love songs,
So many love songs, but this one's for you.

Oh, and I'm not one to carry on and on.
And I may not be the poetic type, no.
I'm not always the most refined.
Oh but even so,
I just want you to know this is the way I show you how I feel.

They've all been written, thousands unknown.
But when you hear this one playing,
You can say it's your own.
There's so many love songs, so many love songs.
There are so many love songs, so many love songs.
There are so many love songs, but this one's for you.

This One's for You
  • Jennifer Nettles told Billboard magazine that the sound of this That Girl cut about sensual yearning was very unique to her. "The way that I approached this whole project was with a spirit of openness," Nettles noted. "I did a lot of sitting at the piano, and seeing what would come. From a chord perspective, that song was so different for me than anything I had written before."
  • Nettles received some help from "Brave" singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles with completing the song. "I had gotten to a point where I was stuck on the chorus, and Sara was coming into town," she explained. "She came over to helped me finish it. It brings to mind Carole King a little bit."
