I Volunteer Lyrics

I volunteer to drive you home
To spend some time with you alone
But the words don't come, that I wanna say
And the precious time just slips away

'Cause you don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer

I volunteer to stop somewhere
And talk about your love affairs
We'll laugh together like best friends
But I hate to see these moments end

Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer

Well I volunteer the love I kept inside so long
I search in your eyes for the moment, but it never seems to come

We talk all night and forget the time
But I never say what's on my mind
And when you're gone all that I wish
Is I'd said it all with just a kiss

'Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me
Who really loves you so desp'rately
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer
If I could only make you hear,
I'd volunteer

I volunteer to drive you home 
To spend some time with you alone 
But the words don't come, that I wanna say 
And the precious time just slips away

'Cause you don't know, you don't know that it's me 
Who really loves you so desp'rately 
If I could only make you hear, 
I'd volunteer

I volunteer to stop somewhere 
And talk about your love affairs 
We'll laugh together like best friends 
But I hate to see these moments end

Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me 
Who really loves you so desp'rately 
If I could only make you hear, 
I'd volunteer

Well I volunteer the love I kept inside so long 
I search in your eyes for the moment, but it never seems to come

We talk all night and forget the time 
But I never say what's on my mind 
And when you're gone all that I wish 
Is I'd said it all with just a kiss

'Cause you still don't know, you don't know that it's me 
Who really loves you so desp'rately 
If I could only make you hear, 
I'd volunteer 
If I could only make you hear, 
I'd volunteer

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.
