I Don't Owe You Nothing Anymore Lyrics

Now that you're standing there making eyes at me
tell me just what it is that you think you see
I don't recall meeting my maker from above
I don't remember you entering the door of those I love

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

mold me from a piece of clay but wash your hands real good
or things'll start growing on you from the dirt where I once stood
head down to the river to wash my sins it won't stop to let me see
exactly what it's cleansing and what it leaves on me

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

hear that factory whisle blast
I see the boys filing past
I share glad tidings with my kids
but can't stop thinking 'bout his

I appear in my own dreams could never get past the crowd
who audition for everyone else's and sing and dance real loud
you go you're way I'll go mine I'm searching for things unfound
buried in the hearts of those who rest peaceful in the ground

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

repeat verse 2

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

We'll Sing Hallelujah

Now that you're standing there making eyes at me
tell me just what it is that you think you see
I don't recall meeting my maker from above
I don't remember you entering the door of those I love

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

mold me from a piece of clay but wash your hands real good
or things'll start growing on you from the dirt where I once stood
head down to the river to wash my sins it won't stop to let me see
exactly what it's cleansing and what it leaves on me

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

hear that factory whisle blast
I see the boys filing past
I share glad tidings with my kids
but can't stop thinking 'bout his

I appear in my own dreams could never get past the crowd
who audition for everyone else's and sing and dance real loud
you go you're way I'll go mine I'm searching for things unfound
buried in the hearts of those who rest peaceful in the ground

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

repeat verse 2

so let me tell you something
I don't owe you nothing anymore

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.
