Give Me My Blues Lyrics

I play my music, the only way that I can
Play my music only, only way I can
Some people really dig it, some just don't understand

I play my music only, only way I can
I play my music, play it the only way I can
Some people really dig it, some just don't understand

I don't play the drums
I can't disco dance
But I can play the blues
Put you in a trance

I can play my music, only way I can
Some people really dig it
Some just don't understand

Give my blues song, I'll play it all night long
Give me a blues song, I'll play it all night long
It may not sound right to you but I know that, that ain't wrong

I don't do no country
I don't do no jazz
I don't do no punk rock
That kinda razz-ma-tazz

I play my blues song
The only way I can
Some people really dig it
Some just don't understand

Ooh-ho, 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.
