Sweet Baby Lyrics

Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
What a sweet sweet baby
Why do you want to hurt me?
I'm king of the road
Well you don't know darlin'
Too much harder to roam?

First you tell me you're hurting
Then you tell me
You don't need me anyway
You've got nothin' to learn
You've chained me baby
I will break you to get free

Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
Just a sweet sweet baby
What a sweet sweet baby
Why do you want to hurt me?
I'm king of the road
Well you don't know darlin'
Too much harder to roam?

You think you got what I need
You build me up to keep me down here on my knees
So you better leave me alone
Your heart is too full
Baby just let go of me

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.

this song is so good and so empowering for people who identify with what she's saying. I'm so glad Canto XII got the right words up there, the lyrics that were oringinally posted were totally wrong.
