Piano Man Lyrics

Got a man that holds you tight
Got a man that treats you right
Got a man that loves you, that hugs you

I swear

Got a man that brings the beat
Got a man that can't be beat
Got a man that loves you, that hugs you

I swear

I declare

Ooh and i swear

I declare

Got to give, got to give
Got to live, got to live
Got to give, got to give
Got to live

Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down

Yeah

Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down

Yeah, yeah

Got a man that stays the night
Got a man that fights the fight
Got a man that hugs you, that loves you

I swear

Got a man that brings a beat
Got man that can't be beat
Got a man that hugs you, that loves you

I swear

I declare

Ooh and i swear

I declare

Got to give, got to give
Got to live, got to live
Got to give, got to give
Got to live

Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down

Yeah

Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down
Don't stop, get on down

Yeah, Yeah

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.

sarah your comment made me laugh. and i think you are right. that piano solo is awesome and amazing though. I guess the main thing here is just that there is a man that is everything he should be for a girl. whether that is the singer or not a don't know. Don't stop, get on down is just a catchy refrain. i'm gonna go with that. this song should have more comments they are sweet as hell. i saw them at bonnaroo in 2008!
