I Sing For The Things Lyrics

You say I have everything
Well, I'm living on dreams and chains
But, I sing for the things money can't buy

You say you don't believe
Well could you just look at me
Look deep into my eyes...my love

Well, have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run

I'll take off my cape for you
I'll take down my hair for you
Anything you want me to do...my love

Well, I'll sit home and wait for you
Oh, darling there's nothing that I'd rather do
Anything you want me to do...my love

Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone, baby
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run

You say I have everything
Well, I've been living on dreams and chains
I sing for the things that money can't buy me

Have you ever been in love
Have you touched the soul of someone
Did the fear inside you make you turn and run
Anything...my love
Anything...my love
Any thing...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's fairly straightforward...sung by a person who might seem to have all the material goods anyone could desire - but Stevie's songs are very emotional and truly come from the heart. I LOVE the line about "living on dreams and chains" - telling us how much she still loves the classic Mac songs like "Dreams" and "The Chain."

I think that unrealesed version from Wil Heart album is better.
