About The Cardigans:
The Cardigans’ sound is often described as an eclectic fusion of pop, rock, and alternative influences. Alongside catchy melodies, thoughtful lyrics, and lead vocalist Nina Persson’s distinctive voice, their playful approach has resulted in beloved hits like “Lovefool,” “My Favourite Game”, “Step on Me” and over 15 million sold albums - globally. Besides making their mark on the charts, their music has been used to enhance cult TV-series and movies like Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, The Office and The Crown. Further enriching their legacy and solidifying their place in ’90s pop culture and beyond.
For What It’s Worth Lyrics:
One, two, three, four
Hey baby come 'round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight
A four letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do
Oh what is worse I'm gonna run, run, run
Till the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse I love you
Hey please baby come back
There'll be no more loving attack
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The four letter word is out of my head
Come on around get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright
For what it's worth I like you
And what is worse I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun, fun, fun
Till I said, "I love you"
And what is worse I really do
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do, oh
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do, oh
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do

I spent 17 years looking for this song... I just listen this song once or twice when I was 13 or 14 old and just remembered the harmonica (I didn't speak English). Very times I looked for it, tonight I finally find and worthed effort ... Beautifull song, Thanks for the post!!

It's a great song and the video too

[@MrSvante88]

Well done man, I’ve only looked for a song four years once so you beat me there. And it’s a really nice tune.

[@joberstan7667]

Love this and many of their other songs...

[@dtikvxcdgjbv7975]

One of best Cardigans' songs. Very underrated. Very romantic.

[@humanafterall2259]

Indeed ☺️

[@cpinga5]

I was hooked instantly.

[@mariateresadimauro9089]

I love this song ❤️

[@andrewstubbs822]

Are you sure you haven't robbed "underrated" as a description from billions of other music fans these days?

It isn't that romantic. It's kinda twisted (in a good way).

[@humanstation8193]

Masterpiece from one of the great bands to never be recognised as one of the greatest bands. Supreme songwriting, exquisite lead vocals.

[@L330ne]

So true

[@Hiajarock]

[@donnyleepresent7082]

[@diogopinto2065]

It's really " lovefool " .

[@ricardolopezhurtado8431]

Am I the only one who cries while listening to this beautiful song? They captured all the desperation, melancholia, and nostalgic that comes when you love so much, but in a beautiful and lightly way.

I cry too

[@AlexOrozco-Social-Pariah]

I've been crying the whole weekend because I'm going through what the song talks about. Impressive storytelling tbh, it's what got me sobbing.

Back in high school I remember listening to the cardigans and falling in love with the songs, what memories!! Those days searching my love and now with the right one and my little girl.

[@vsetkymenasuobsadene]

the best of cardigans... about real fucking love

[@dennis2966]

When I saw Nina playing that harmonica, I just appreciated her all the more. What an amazing talent!

[@sydandlucy]

I fell in love with a French girl in university, she had a steady boyfriend, we became really good friends and had a great 4 months but then she had to return to France.Before she left, she gave me her journal so that I can write her a farewell note, I wrote the lyrics of this song.She had already understood that I had so desperately fallen in love with her but these lyrics were my official love confession. After she left I couldn't listen to this song for a long time.Now whenever I listen to this I feel this warm gratitude and mellow familiarity filled with nostalgia.

[@Daniel83Salles]

What a nice history. So, I know what you mean. I've passed through something like this, and unfortunately life has such things like this. Make a song my friend with this, make a song.

I heard this song back in the day and didn't think much of it. Almost 20 years later i'm listening to it again and i am amazed at the amazing production, the lyrics and general beautiful musicianship. Man the Cardigans were really amazing. Too bad we only consider their general, well known hits, because their later music is amazing

[@mariajoseegascanar4399]

A long time ago I fell in love with this song. Now, gives me nostalgic when I hear it. My favorite song forever.

[@ricardolopezhurtado8431]

Diego Farías absolutely agreed! I just found out this gem! It’s beautiful, sweet, but melancholic and a with a little desperation and regrets as well. It’s lightly, but makes me feel a little sad and nostalgic. Listening with no-stopping in 2018.

[@dropkickirish4449]

Nina sang me to sleep every night, and I mean every single night, while in my cot, in a canvass tent, on the outskirts of Baghdad for six straight months of hell in 2003. Her voice was the only sound that could drown out the cacophony of the ceaseless bombs and gunfire, and put my mind at ease so I could fall asleep.
