  • Swingin' in the backyard, pull up in your fast car whistlin' my name
    Open up a beer and you say, "Get over here
    And play a video game"
    I'm in his favorite sundress, watching me get undressed
    Take that body downtown
    I say, "You da bestest," lean in for a big kiss, put his favorite perfume on
    "Go play your video game"

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do
    I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you wanna do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    And, baby, now you do

    Singin' in the old bars, swinging with the old stars, livin' for the fame
    Kissin' in the blue dark, playing pool and wild darts, video games
    He holds me in his big arms, drunk and I am seeing stars
    This is all I think of
    Watchin' all our friends fall in and out of Old Paul's
    This is my idea of fun
    Playin' video games

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do
    I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you wanna do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    And, baby, now you do

    (Now you do, now you do, now you do)
    (Now you do, now you do, now you do)

    It's you, it's you, it's all for you, everything I do
    I tell you all the time, heaven is a place on earth with you
    Tell me all the things you wanna do
    I heard that you like the bad girls, honey, is that true?
    It's better than I ever even knew
    They say that the world was built for two
    Only worth living if somebody is loving you
    And, baby, now you do

    (Now you do, now you do, now you do)
    Now you do
