Everything For Free Lyrics

Without bother I try harder
Than running-around-on-you
Maybe someday
Games that you play
Will get old to you, too

I count on my fingers
The things I thought I knew
And sabotage the mirage of our future

Cause if I were a winner
Like you wanted me to be
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free?
Riddle-writing nights have explained
More about you to me
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

When I come down
From my seek-around
Will you catch me then?
I’m hot as a potato
When I’m out of the oven
Watch me, watch me
As I fall from grace
Baby, baby will you cover your face?

I count on my fingers
The things I thought I knew
And sabotage the mirage of our future

Cause if I were a winner
Like you wanted me to be
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free?
Riddle-writing nights have explained
More about you to me
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

Cause if I were a winner
Like you wanted me to be
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free?
Riddle-writing nights have explained
More about you to me
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

I'm Your Puppet

Without bother I try harder 
Than running-around-on-you 
Maybe someday 
Games that you play 
Will get old to you, too

I count on my fingers 
The things I thought I knew 
And sabotage the mirage of our future

Cause if I were a winner 
Like you wanted me to be 
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free? 
Riddle-writing nights have explained 
More about you to me 
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

When I come down 
From my seek-around 
Will you catch me then? 
I’m hot as a potato 
When I’m out of the oven 
Watch me, watch me 
As I fall from grace 
Baby, baby will you cover your face?

I count on my fingers 
The things I thought I knew 
And sabotage the mirage of our future

Cause if I were a winner 
Like you wanted me to be 
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free? 
Riddle-writing nights have explained 
More about you to me 
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

Cause if I were a winner 
Like you wanted me to be 
Then wouldn't I fix everything for free? 
Riddle-writing nights have explained 
More about you to me 
Than any lines I’ve drawn from a to b

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.
