I Live for That Look Lyrics

Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why
Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why
You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A time to even say
Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why
Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why
You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having
A single thing to say
Tell me now, tell me now

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.

The song is about a lady who's leading J. on. She looks at him seductively and he constantly craves that attention and thinks he'll get something out of her but she's all over the place yet he's stuck on her.
