I Want For Nothing Lyrics

Say no to me
And I will love you more
Play me for keeps
Under garage door

I pressed his side
Be sad, grow over, float
All for a dream
More than the time we took

They think it's right
But they don't think like me
When I concede
It is a victory

It's not ideals
Ideals never last
I see my face
I wanna break in half

Since we fell
I am an empty well
I want for nothing
You want

And still you say
There is another way
I want for nothing
I want for nothing
I want for nothing

It's not a bruise
It is a spider bite
I wasn't forced
To stay awake at night

And he was tired
He knows not what he needs
I care for you
But not as you for me

Since we fell
I am an empty well
I want for nothing
You want

And still you say
There is another way
I want for nothing
I want for nothing
I want for nothing

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.

Say no to me And I will love you more Play me for keeps Under garage doors Up past inside Beside the river flows Up for a drink More than the tiny toast

They think it's right But they don't think like me What I concede It is a victory It's not ideals Ideas never last I've seen my face I want to break in half

Since we fell I am an empty well I want for nothing You want

And still you say There is another way I want for nothing I want for nothing I want for nothing I want for nothing

It's not a bruise It is a spider bite I wasn't forced To stay awake at night And he was tired He knows not what he needs I cry for you But not as you for me

Since we fell I am an empty well I want for nothing You want

And still you say There is another way I want for nothing I want for nothing I want for nothing I want for nothing

One more tiny correction, it's:

"I cry for you But a tear for me"
