She Belongs to Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She take the darkness out of the nighttime and paint the daytime black

[Verse 2]
Mm, she never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
Yeah, she never stumbles, she's got no place to fall
Ah, she's nobody's child, the Law can't touch her at all

[Verse 3]
You will start out standin', proud to steal her anything she sees
You will start out standin', proud to steal her anything she sees
But you'll wind up peekin' through her keyhole down upon your knees

[Verse 4]
So bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes, huh-huh, yeah
Ah, bow down to her on Sunday, salute her when her birthday comes
Mm, for Halloween give her a trumpet, and for Christmas buy her a drum, yeah

[Verse 5]
She's got everything she needs, she's an artist, and she don't look back, um-um
Yeah, she's got everything she needs, she's an artist, she don't look back
She take the darkness out of the nighttime and paint the daytime black

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
