I Must Go Lyrics

I've been trying to get to you
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey, little girl, you're leaving me all alone
Hey, little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting
Contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching
Heart's breaking
Let the four winds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
Hey, little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting
Contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching
Heart's breaking
Let the four winds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

I must go

I've been trying to get to you
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
I just can't seem to get through
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
You leave in the morning but you don't come back
Hey, little girl, you're leaving me all alone
Hey, little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting
Contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching
Heart's breaking
Let the four winds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

You just can't choose between the lie and the fact
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone
Hey, little girl, you're on the wrong track
Hey, little girl, leave the little drug alone

I've been waiting
Contemplating
Now I know
If you're aching
Heart's breaking
Let the four winds blow

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

And this is why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
Why I must go
I must go

I must go

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.
