Find Me a Woman Lyrics

How long, how long, baby
Must I live on and be your slave?
How long, how long, baby
Must I live on and be your slave?

Yeah, you don't do nothin', baby
Threw all my money 'way

I'm gonna find me a woman, yes, yes, yes
To help me reach my goal
I'm gonna find me a woman
To help me reach my goal

Lord ? beside me
Man in heaven help me reach my goal
Yes, I work so hard for you, baby
Too tired to satisfy your worried mind

Well, you don't do nothin', baby
Long ago, my money 'way

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.
