I Could Have Had You Lyrics

I've got myself to blame
I've got my weary bones
I've got my lessons learnt
I've got my hand to hold

But I could have had her right inside my pocket,
She could have been just mine to have at home,
But the love we shared went faster than a rocket
And the diamond she gave me has turned back into gold

Go!

I've got my cheques to cash
I've got my right and wrong
I've got my battle lost
I've got my ribbon won

But I could have had her right inside my pocket
She could have been just mine to have at home
The love we shared went faster than a rocket
And the diamond she gave me has turned back into gold
And the diamond she gave me has turned back into gold
And the diamond she gave me has turned back into gold

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.
