Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want (Smiths cover) Lyrics

Good times for a change.
See the luck I've had could make a good man turn bad.
So please please please, let me, let me, let meï¿½
Let me get what I want this time.

Haven't had a dream in a long time.
See the life I've had could make a good man bad.
So for one in my life let me get what I want.
Lord knows it would be the first time.
Lord knows it would be the first time.

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.

Wow, I'm a pretty new Hootie fan, I never knew they covered this song :D Also, I always thought the second line was 'luck' not 'look'...that seems to make more sense
