What For?

The past few days I've been going back listening to my Rooney albums. Rooney is one of my favorite bands ever! They're songs are so melodic. If I could describe them, I'd say they're a cross between the Beach Boys and the Beatles. There's no denying where they're from when you hear their sound. I have mad love for this band. Gotta love and rep for my CA bands =)

Anyways, so one of their songs is called What For and I think its a beautiful song and so relevant to today. All I hear coming out of peoples mouths is how they deceive/play n&*(as AND B^%$#es and make them feel like they actually like them, when in fact they don't. They just want to get their thrills in and then discard of the other person as soon as they're bored with them.

How can people be so cold-hearted and insensitive to the feelings of others? How can they pretend to be someone they're not and make someone fall for that fake-being/persona? In the end, they just leave and the other person gets hurt because they actually believed them. They thought that the other person really did love them and cared for them, when really they were just using them. I don't ever ever ever intend on hurting someone like that.

Below are the lyrics & video....Enjoy!

What For lyrics

You don't know what's right anymore
You think your love is just a score
Are you too young or afraid to grow up?
You can work this out if you both try
It's hard to cheat but harder to lie
Is this what you want or just a passing thought?

Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide

Ask yourself "what for?
What for, what for, what for?"

You painted a picture she wanted to see
You can laugh this one off but it's not funny
She's given you everything she has
Oh oh

Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide

Ask yourself, "what for?
What for, what for, what for?"

You wanted her and you got her
But you're still so careless with your words
If you let her go, she'll move on
Find someone, she's never coming back
How can you live with that?

Maybe you should think about it
Before you go and break her heart
Maybe you need more time to decide
So you should think about it some more

Ask yourself, "what for?"
(I know it sounds like the same old line)
What for?
(I know it seems like the same old guy)
What for?
(Maybe I don't know how to treat you right)
What for?
(Maybe you'll meet someone to know your life)
What for?
(You said I lied since the day we met)
What for?
(But I meant every word I said)
What for?
(Someday you'll miss every single day we spent)
What for?
