Who's Your Partner Lyrics

I was born on a light-skinned road
I was born with an engineer's gold
I did better than most

Now I live on a dark-skinned road
The collectors call they try to take my gold
I'm happier than most

The streets are never clean
My friends they help preserve my innocence

We shared our cigarettes
At the window we placed our bets
They wouldn't call our names
Tickets hide our shame

So we laughed through glossy eyes
Surely the gods would recognize
our good intentions, we showed them,
the sweat covered our skin

We aged a decade in an hour,
We gave away our innocence

So let these simple songs get caught in our heads
Brace the frames of our worthless beds
All my life never gave a fuck
Someone please wake me up

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.

When the first song on your album ends with, "All my life never gave a fuck- Someone please wake me up," it's probably going to be a good one.
