Just Like a Bird Without a Feather Lyrics

Just like a bird without a feather
You know I'm lost without your love
Just like a bird without a feather
You know I'm lost without your love
You know I need your love
Just like the angels need Heaven above

Well, you know, sure as I shot my baby
But I did it because she did me wrong
Well, you know, sure as I shot my baby
But I did it because she did me wrong
Yeah, you know the judge call it murder
Now the penitentiary is my home

Yeah, I loved that woman
Said she didn't love no one but me
Yeah, you know, I love that woman
She said she didn't love no one but me
Yeah, but I caught my baby cheatin'
Now my home ain't where it used to be

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.
