I Would For You is a love song, performed by Jane’s Addiction, that Perry Farrell wrote about his then-girlfriend Casey Niccoli.

Porno For Pyros covered this song and made it a staple of their set during much of the Good God’s Urge tour. Perry and Casey had long since broken up by the time Porno For Pyros began covering this song, so Perry substituted the lyric “babe” for “Case” in the song, however most fans singing along used the original lyric.

Lyrics

Oh baby!
I’m so tired

A man, from the government
Man, from the tax board
Man, in the public school
Man, own’s the golden rule
Yeah,
I’m everybody’s slave
I made you my slave
You said this I do for you
If it would help
To give the world back
What it gave
Then I would…
I would
I would
I would…

I would for you
I would for you
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh…. uhhh….

You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Well sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder
What I would do
I would do anything if I could
You know I would
I would
I would
I would
I would
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you – Case…
I would for you – ohh…
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh…. uhhh….

Demo version:

I’m everybody’s slave
I made you my slave
You said this I do for you
If it would help
To give the world back what it gave
Then I would…
I would
I would
I would…

I would for you
I would for you
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh….

You say my eyes
Are crazy eyes
Sometimes they are
And so are you
And if you wonder what I would do?
I would do anything if I could
I would
I would
I would…

I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you
I would for you ohh…
ohhh…. ohhhh… uhhh…. uhhh….
