I'll Make the Living Lyrics

Honey I think that it's just about time that you and I had a long talk
Cause lately it seems we just can't get along so let's find out just who's at fault
It seems to me ever since you've got a job so we could live better in style
We've done nothing but our things now I've decided
I'll make the living if you'll make the living worthwhile
I'll make the living if you'll make the living worthwhile
Life's not worth living when I give an inch and you end up takin' a mile
It's been so long since you gave me the reason I'll bet I forgot how to smile
So let's stop this fussing and do some forgiving
I'll make the living if you'll make the living worthwhile
I'll make the living if you'll make the living worthwhile

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.
