Straight for This Life Lyrics

Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

Heart like an anchor your head spillin' over
Beautiful baby we'll have they adore ya
You go away but they're still chasing after
Rollin' around in the weeds while they ramble on

Straight for this life
And I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
Well I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
I'll be ready soon

Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

Bound again they can still make you wonder
How to begin with the spell that you're under
Talking away but they're still sayin' nothin'
You hang around but your will may be broken, then

Straight for this life
And I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
Well I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
And I'll be ready soon

Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

Straight for this life
And I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
Well I'll come runnin'
Straight for this life
Well I'll be ready soon
Well I'll be ready soon
Well I'll be ready soon
Be ready soon

Ooh Ooh
Ooh Ooh Ooh

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.
