You're All I've Got Tonight Lyrics

i don't care if you hurt me some more
i don't care if you even the score
you can knock me and i don't care
you can mock me and i don't care
you can rock me just about anywhere
it's alright
'cus you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
you're all i've got tonight
i need you tonight
i don't care if you use me again
i don't care if you abuse me again
you can make me i don't care
you can fake me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright
i don't want to feel sorry for you
you don't have to make believe it's you
you can pump me i don't care
you can bump me i don't care
you can love me just about anywhere
it's alright

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.

it could be about how a person keeps getting hurt in a relationship and how no matter what happens he still loves the other person

i´ve never listened the original one.. but i trust in pumpkins, so... and it seems like a desperate act of a half-dead person ina some kind of a party, maybe.. asking to stay, or simply staying, with someone who hurts or just doesn´t matter that much in other situation.. but that is all you´ve got in that very moment.
