A Face In the Crowd Lyrics

Life is a struggle,
Baby, you got to choose.
Hear the call of the wild wind,
What have you got to lose?
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes,
I can see by your smile that you're ready,
Well, I'm ready too.
Oh, life is a puzzle,
Baby, you've got to try,
But don't let it get you,
Don't let it pass you by
'Cos here and now, darling,
Here and now you've got me
And something inside me tells me it's meant to be.

Will it be alright?
I'm getting a message from someone.
Will it turn out right?
It's not just a face in the crowd.
It's not just a face in the crowd,
Face in crowd.

So just close your eyes,
I'm getting a message from someone.
Through a clear blue sky.
It's not just a face in the crowd,
It's not just a face in the crowd,
Face in crowd.

Life is a struggle, 
Baby, you got to choose. 
Hear the call of the wild wind, 
What have you got to lose? 
So take off that coat and kick off those crazy shoes, 
I can see by your smile that you're ready, 
Well, I'm ready too. 
Oh, life is a puzzle,

But don't let it get you, 
Don't let it pass you by 
'Cos here and now, darling,  
Here and now you've got me 
And something inside me tells me it's meant to be.

Will it be alright?

It's not just a face in the crowd. 
It's not just a face in the crowd, 
Face in crowd.

So just close your eyes,

Through a clear blue sky. 
It's not just a face in the crowd, 
It's not just a face in the crowd, 
Face in crowd.

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.
