All I Need Lyrics

More pretty girls than one, more pretty girls than one
Every town I wander 'round
More pretty girls than one
Just like old Woody Guthrie sung
There's more pretty girls in the world than one
But all I need is one, all I need is one
All I need is one, all I need is one
Two would just be too much fun
Three would leave me three times done
What do I need four for? All I need is one
Once I had a lover, now she's gone
I guess she just wasn't the one
All I need is the one, all I need is the one

Hey, hey, Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song
It needed one verse, now it's done
All it needed was one, all it needed was one
All I need is one, all I need is one
Two would just be too much fun
Three would leave me three times done
Take me riding in a car car, this old song is done

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.
