My Children, My Angels Lyrics

Love y'all, ain't nothin' you can do about it

Ain't tryin' to make excuses but then
Just wanna be there for y'all as a friend
Your pa did a lotta work on hisself
Just know I love y'all more than anyone else

Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you

One is too many
Billions ain't never enough
Don't take the easy road
There's no shortcuts
Spirit kingdom do
What we can't do for ourselves
Don't put nothin' down
Without lovin' everybody else

Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you

Tell me 'bout your desires right now
Don't trip on loose wires
I'll show you how
My babies, I wish I'd never made you blue
My children, my angels
I'm talkin' to you

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.
