What is the meaning of "for you" in the following sentence?

I found the following sentence from a movie. I would really appreciate if someone could let me know what is the propose of "for" in the following sentence. I mean, it seems as though there is no any difference between the sentence with or without "for" and I've never seen such a usage of "for" so far.


Michael, honey, I need for you to just listen to me. (for)

I need for you to . . . is less than standard. It's not unusual in casual English.

I don't know, but it may be a feature of American English.
