You're Just What I Was Looking for Today [Take 9] Lyrics

Hey little woman
You're just what I was looking for today
I needed someone
And you're just what I was looking for today

Good things seem to happen to you
When you just happen to run across them in life
If you wait too long you know that
When you turn around you find you have lost them in life

The sun daylight will shine
But the vision in my eyes look plain and gray
Nice touch of moonlight
You're just what I was looking for today

We could drift away together
You and I could be alone
Nothing that is real applies
Beneath the nothing-matters skies
We could sit and fantasize
A world of our own

Good things seem to happen to you
When you just happen to run across them in life
If you wait too long you know that
When you turn around you find you have lost them in life

You're just what I was looking for today
You're just what I was looking for today
You're just what I was looking for today
You're just what I was looking for today

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.
