Will Work For Food Lyrics

I need a couch
I haven't got one
I need a bed
To lay my soiled head upon
When you've crossed your i's and dot your t's
Maybe you'll have time for me
I need a car
(If nobody knew how)
I haven't got one
(Awful the world is)
I need a ride
(Would that make the world)
Across the frozen Amazon
(Any less awful? No)
You look steamy hot but feel
(If nobody knew how)
cool to the touch
(Awful the world is)
Maybe if you find the time
(Would that make the world)
you'll make out with me
(Any less awful? No)
Desperate me, desperate me
You and me

I need a couch 
I haven't got one 
I need a bed 
To lay my soiled head upon 
When you've crossed your i's and dot your t's 
Maybe you'll have time for me 
I need a car
(If nobody knew how)
I haven't got one
(Awful the world is)
I need a ride
(Would that make the world) 
Across the frozen Amazon
(Any less awful? No)
You look steamy hot but feel
(If nobody knew how)
cool to the touch
(Awful the world is)
Maybe if you find the time        
(Would that make the world)
you'll make out with me
(Any less awful? No)
Desperate me, desperate me
You and me

I need a job 
I haven't got one 
Ask me all the questions
Tell me everything
Put me to work 
("I'm on your side" repeat)
Clearing out your dream                                               
We'll start with Z we'll end with A 
I'll do anything                                            Will work for food 
Will work for love                                                  Will work for food 
Will work for you                                                   Will work for food 
Desperate me 
Will work for you 
Busy busy bee

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 is all about a guy who needs a bunch of stuff. As much as he needs a job, food, shelter, he'd still do anything to get that girl. I know the feeling.
