You're All I've Got to Live For Lyrics

Now look-a-here, darlin'
You're the only one I love
Now you know how I feel like, baby
In my heart the star above

Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Now darlin', please don't mistreat me

Now you know you's a good little girl
Do anything I say
I wouldn't mistreat you
Not in nary single day

Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Baby, please don't mistreat me

Now when I was down, baby
Didn't have a single dime
You'd taken me, baby
Wouldn't pay other men no mind

Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin', please don't mistreat me

'Yas yas'

'Go get another half-a-pint'
'And a cool can a-beer'

Now you know I love you, baby
Will love you 'till I die
Give you anything, baby
That your heart desires

Oh-oh, babe how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin', please don't mistreat me

Now you know I love you, baby
I don't see the reason why
Ev'rytime I see you lookin' at another man
I wants to cry

Oh-oh, babe how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin', please don't mistreat me

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.
