Oh Yes I Can Lyrics

[Intro. (Piano)]
I'm sitting here at my piano
I'm wondering how this battle can be won
The woman I was sure I was in love with
Seems to feel that the deal is done
But I don't, no I don't
And I want you to understand
Oh yes I can
Still be the man you fell in love with
Oh yes I can
Fire and ice, fire and ice ... water
Well, I'm sittin' here in my kitchen
But food is not on my mind
I love you so much I don't want to see you go and I think
This must be what it feels like to be going blind
And I need you know I need
I need you to understand
Oh yes I can
Still be the man you fell in love with
Oh yes I can
Fire and ice, fire and ice ... water
And I'm sittin' here in the sand dunes
Asking the ocean what to do
I found my life again and it's you I want to share it with
But I'm so afraid of losing you
And I know you know I know
And I want you to understand
Oh yes I can
Still be the man you fell in love with
Oh yes I can
You see I'm talking about
Fire and ice, fire and ice ... makes water

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.
