The Joker (Steve Miller cover) Lyrics

Some people call me space cowboy, yea
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doing you wrong, doing you wrong
Don't worry, don't you worry mama
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Play my music in the sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
Sure don't wanna hurt no one
Woo Woo

You're the cutest girl I think I ever did see
Really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Oooo baby, I'll fuck you a good time

I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
Play my music in the sun

I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
Sure don't wanna hurt no one

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.
