I Take What I Want Lyrics

Oh, I take what I want
Oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah
Yes, I am
I'm never a loser
And I'm never a quitter, yeah
Oh, no
'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you
Nobody but you, child

I've been a-watching you walk by
But I never said a word
Not one word
But now I'm 'round to get you
And I'm gonna make you my girl
My loving girl now
'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you
Nobody but you, child

Gonna pick you up now
Carry you away, yes, I am
So you better pack up now, baby
Pack it up today
Here I come
Just a big, bad man
When you see me walk away, baby
You'll be holding my hand

'Cos I take what I want
Oh, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah
Yes, I am
And now I'm 'round to get you
And I'm gonna make you my girl
My loving girl now
'Cos I take what I want
Yeah, baby, I want you
Nobody but you child (listen to me)
Nobody but you, you, you
Nobody but you, child
Oh, listen to me
Got nobody but you now

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.
