Shakespeare's Tragedy Lyrics

I don't want you
But I'm inclined to
Think you're the only fool like me
And if you want to
You could hurt me now
And bring me a world of misery
I don't wanna make you
I just wanna take you down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
And if you want to
Have someone to love you now
Why shouldn't be a fool like me?
'Cause we're the only ones laughin'
At Shakespeare's Tragedy
And wouldn't you miss my company?
I don't wanna make you
I just wanna take you down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
(music)
God alone knows why
(music)
I don't want you
But I'm inclinded to
Think you're the only fool like me
(pause)
Won't you meet down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
Oh yeh
By the the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
Knows why
God alone knows why

Johnny Have You Seen Her

Get It Right

I don't want you
But I'm inclined to
Think you're the only fool like me
And if you want to
You could hurt me now
And bring me a world of misery
I don't wanna make you
I just wanna take you down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
And if you want to
Have someone to love you now
Why shouldn't be a fool like me?
'Cause we're the only ones laughin'
At Shakespeare's Tragedy
And wouldn't you miss my company?
I don't wanna make you
I just wanna take you down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
(music)
God alone knows why
(music)
I don't want you
But I'm inclinded to
Think you're the only fool like me 
(pause)
Won't you meet down
By the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
Oh yeh
By the the cool clear water
Under the sun filled sky
Well I need you and you need me
God alone knows why
God alone knows why
Knows why
God alone knows why

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.
