Cruel Lyrics

Caught you floating
on the sidewalk
disconnected from the shore
In the last act of devotion
you said "love
I've been here before"
So you came for the reception
now gravity just brought you back
(Save me) I'm fallin'
still scattered to my knees
I'm your humble bride
and I'm beggin' please
Now love, don't be cruel
don't be cruel now
don't be?
Love, don't be cruel to me
don't be cruel to me
Used to meet me in slow-motion
now this remote don't work no more
In the last act of redemption
we fought-I lost, you scored?
(Hold on) I'm fallin'
Just a second away from you
Oh my tender child
I'm so in love with you
Now love, don't be cruel
don't be cruel now
don't be?
Love, don't be cruel to me
don't be cruel to me

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.
