I Want Lyrics

I want a big red car
& I want a fancy new guitar
I want a house with a back deck
& I want to come home with a big pay cheque

Chorus:
But I cant have everything I want
'Cause I can't have you

I want to be a star
& I want to be of age to get in to the bar
I want to ride a Harley Davidson
& I want to live in a great big Mansion

Chorus

I want to sleep for hours & hours
& I want a garden full of beautiful sunflowers
I want to go, to be seen
& I want to be friends with Tom Petty

Chorus

I want someone to grant my wishes
& I want a boy who'll blow me kisses
I want a friend that I can care for
& I want to find a love that's not so painful

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.

I just added the song lyrics to this song cuz its one of my most fave songs.. EVER. Everyone should go listen to it lol. Anywayz I think its about loving someone and all the great things that come along with love. The fact that you feel like you can accomplish anything with them in your life, but that you cant have them, so therefore you cant have anything you want. You just cant seem to be happy because they are missing from your life so everything else seems like its missing too. Like feeling disconnected. Incomplete. Tortoured. I really love the line "And I want to find a love that's not so painful". Its prolly the best line of this song, or atleast the one that really pulls on my heart strings.

Dont we all wish we could find that? I know I do.
