Pick-Me-Ups Lyrics

You wonder why I'm gone so much and come home late at night
While you sit there and swear the way I'm living can't be right
It seems to bring you joy serene to nag me to the ground
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down
You've never tried to look inside and find the good in me
How could you know I love you so my faults are all you see

The only time I feel at home is when I'm on the town
So I'll be out drinking pick me ups so you can put me down
It wouldn't do to cheat on you and I wouldn't if I could
This heart of mine won't let my mind believe that you're no good
I'll just plead on until they come and put me in the ground
Then I'll don't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down
No I won't need the pick me ups cause you can't put me down

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.
