Oil Lyrics

I see the look, look on your face,
Never should have come,
Never should have ever should have raced,
Down here to help you,
To your hand, your disgrace,
Cause I see, love, in your eyes,
Never should have run,
Never should have let you lie,
Down, on my shoulder, babe,

But oooiiillll,
But oooiiillllaaaaa,

I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory...

I take you down, down to the sea,
Can't you see honey, looking at me,
Like I've got some answer to some disease,
And I'm just happy, on your knees,
And I see, love, in your eyes,
Never should have run,
Never should have let you lie,
Down, on my shoulder, babe,

But oooiiillll,
But oooiiillllaaaaa,

I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory, with you,
I ain't got no need for territory...

Oil, oil, oil x many,
It's all about,
Oil, oil, oil etc,
It's all about,
Oil, oil, oil etc
It's all about, about oil.

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.
