If You Wanna Stay Lyrics

Go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay
My hearts not a game you can play with and put away
Baby tryin' to figure you out, could make a man go insane
So just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

Dream what you want to dream, be who you gotta be
I never wanna be the one who kept you from being free
But girl I gotta know what you want, 'cause I've taken all I can take
So just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby, just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

Every time you decide, to spread your wings and fly
You make the same mistake, and I can't take anymore goodbyes
So baby, just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

I don't wana lose everything our love has made
But I don't wana feel alone everytime you go away
So just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

Mmmm baby just go if you wanna go, stay if you wanna stay...

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.
