Hawg for You Lyrics

I'm a hawg for you, baby
I'm gonna root all around your door
I'm a dirty hawg for you, baby
And I'm gonna keep on rootin'

All around your door, baby, now now
I'm gonna keep on rootin', baby
Till I can't root no more

I got rockin' pneumonia, asiatic flu
I got something to tell you, baby
I want to sock it to you
Hawg for you, baby

And I'm gonna rock all around your door
Keep on rootin', rootin'
Rootin', root, baby, yeah
Till I just can't root no more

Hawg for you, baby
Hawg for you, honey

They say I'm a dirty man
But I'm doin'the best I can
They say I don't do none right
But I'm gonna make love all night, huh

I'm a hawg for you, baby
And I'm gonna root all around your door
Keep on rootin', mama

Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
'Til I just can root no more
Let's take it home, boys, oh yeah

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.
