For Your Life Lyrics - Led Zeppelin



You said I was the only, oh, oh
With my lemon in your hand
Exhibition is your habit
Emotions second hand, oh, oh
Had to pull away to save me
Maybe next time around
And she said, don't you wannit?
Don't you want coca coca cocaine?
Hadn't planned to, could not stand to
Try it, friend, yeah, na, na, yeah
Whoo ooh ooh ooh

Heard a cry for mercy
In the city of the damned
Oh oh babe, damned
Impossible to go lower
The next stop's on the ground
Oh, low on the ground
You want to know is it quite over
To fame and tears and losing hair
And I said didn't mean to... did not mean to f-fail
You didn't plan it, you overran it...yeeeeeeah!

You wanna do it, you wanna
You wanna do it when you wanna
You wanna do it, do it when you wanna

When you blow it, babe
You got to blow it right
Oh baby, if you fake it, mama
Baby, fake with all your might
When you fake it, mama
Please fake it right

For yourself, babe, will you fake it?
You're fakin' it for your life
For your life
For your life
For your life

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna
Do it, do it, do it
Do it when you wanna

Oh, I can have you, baby
But I don't know what to do, yeah
Sometime, baby, nothin' I could do

Wanna find myself a crystal
Payin' through the nose

And when they couldn't resist you
I said "Just go with the flow"

And now your stage is empty
and now the curtain, baby please.
Fold up your show

Hadn't planned to
Could not stand to
(fryin!)
Hadn't planned it
I over ran in
(fryin!)
For your life
For your life

About a friend of Robert Plant's who got into drugs.
Plant was convalescing from a car accident during recording. He sang this from a wheelchair.
Jimmy Page used his 1962 Fender Stratocaster for the first time on this. He would later use it with his band The Firm.
Zeppelin never played this live.
