When I get my hands on you Lyrics

When I set my eyes on you
I'm gonna keep you out a town at night
When I set my eyes on you
You're not gonna be out of my sight

Now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You're gonna have me as your man

When I get my hands on you
I'm gonna make you carry me
When I get my hands on you
I'm gonna make you marry me

Now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You're gonna have me as your man

When I come home to you
I'm gonna take you down to the riverside
When I come home to you
I'm gonna hold you in my arms all night

Now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You're gonna have me as your man

Now you know
Everywhere on earth you go
You're gonna have me as your man

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.
