for the love of pete

Daniel Johnston

For the love of Pete
you were no cheat
although you could have been a little more discrete
you did it all for the love of Pete

For Pete's sake, for my sake
you were no birthday cake
and each one could have had his own share - oh
someone had to win, someone had to loose
but you were the one who had to choose
it was the love of Pete that you wanted
I guess there was no way that I could compete
you did it all for the love of Pete
for the love of Pete, for the love of Pete - oh
