What I Need Lyrics

My whole life's scattered in the streets
Along with my furniture and the sheets
The remains of something sweet

You thought I was down
But I'm on my feet
I'm older and now I can take the heat
It's a dance to a different beat

I don't need no girlfriend to make me sane again
I need a psychiatrist
And a prescription list

There's a talk around the town
About a smile that turned to a frown
Well, I'm sorry to let you down

My head is higher than the sun
I feel the battle has been won
I chased your ghosts on the run

I don't need no girlfriend to make me sane again
I need a psychiatrist
And a stranger's kiss

I don't need no girlfriend to make me sane again
I need a psychiatrist
And a boxer's fist

(How sweet the victory...)

I don't need no girlfriend to make me sane again
I need a psychiatrist
And a prescription list

I don't need no girlfriend to make me sane again
I need a psychiatrist
And a stranger's kiss

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.
