And If I Had Lyrics

And if I had
Someone that loved me
And if I had
Someone to really care

I would be
The best lover
That they ever had
'Cause I need somebody to love me
Love me babe
Yes I do, yeah

And if I had
Just one silly babe
And if I had
Someone to chase my blues away

I would be
I would be
I would be the luckiest man
In the whole wide world
'Cause I need somebody to love me
Love me babe

See I need to lose
This empty feeling
I need to stop
I need someone to stop these endless nights
I need someone to hold
To hold real tight

Someone to love me
If I only had
If I only had
Someone to love me

Said if I only had
If I only had
See, I need, I need, I need, I need
Oh, yes I do

I need real bad
I need somebody, someone to love me
Someone that I could love
See I need somebody
I need somebody
Oh, yes I do

In the middle of the night
When I'm by myself

Somebody all day long
Someone to love me
Someone to hold real tight

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.
