And I Do Just What I Want Lyrics

live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said
don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead
I said no use to worry, no use to fret
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna bet
I'm alright tonight, and I'll do just what I want

tell everybody in the neighborhood
that I want to party, want to party good
and I don't care what the people don't allow
I'm gonna have a good time any old how
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want
oww

whoo

live while you're livin', 'cause you know what they said
don't matter how long you live, you're a long time dead
I said no use to worry, no use to fret
I'd like a million dollars but I ain't gonna get
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want

when I hold you in my arms
love can't do no wrong
and when I hold you tight
love gonna do me right

(tell everybody in the neighborhood)
(I want to party, want to party good)
and I don't care what the people don't allow
I'm gonna have a good time any old how
I'm alright tonight, and I do just what I want (2x)
I'm alroit tonoit, and I do just what I want

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.
