Barry Manilow – This One's For You lyrics
This one will never sell,
They'll never understand,
I don't even sing it well,
I try, but I just can't.
But I sing it every night,
And I fight to keep it in,
Cause this one's for you,
This one's for you.

I've done a hundred songs,
From fantasies to lies,
But this one's so real for me
That I'm the one who cries.
But I sing it every night,
And I fight to hide the tears,
Cause this one's for you,
This one's for you.

This one's for you wherever you are,
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart.
This one's for all the love we once knew
Like everything else I have,
This one's for you
Oh - Oh -

I've got it all, it seems,
For all it means to me.
But I sing of things I miss,
And things that used to be.
And I wonder every night,
If you might just miss me, too.
And I sing for you. I sing for you.

This one's for you wherever I go,
To say the things I should have said -
Things that you should know.
This one's to say that all I can do
Is hope that you will hear me sing 'cause
This one's for you - Oh -
This one's for you wherever you are
To say that nothing's been the same
Since we've been apart
This one's for all the love we once knew (fade out)
Like everything else I sing (fade out)
This one's for you... Oh... (fade out)

    Is this talking about times when you're making meatballs and the cat or dog are staring at you - waiting for a piece. You don't give them any because good quality mince is expensive. But then you drop a bit on the floor, and you don't want to use it because you haven't vacumed so you think you can give the pets a bit afterall, but when you turn round they've got bored and wandered off - so you're left standign there with a piece of meat that you can't use, but you don't know where the pets are. Is that it?

    I think this song is about being depressed over an ex-girlfriend/wife. This one's for you is saying he's depressed every night thinking about her but nobody will ever understand his pain so he keeps it to himself. The song is for her only because nobody understands his pain and it lets her know he can't let go of the memories.
