"8" Teen Lyrics

Stayed away too long and I'm wonderin' why
Thought of all the reasons to make you change your mind
Thought of all the things that we did in the past
And still I'm wonderin' baby did I went too fast

I had eighteen arms to hold you
I had eighteen lips to kiss you
I had eighteen ways to love you
And still I'm wonderin' why you left me

Alright baby, c'mon back

Stayed away too long and I'm wonderin' why
Thought of all reasons to make you change your mind
Thought of all the things that we did in the past
And still I'm wonderin' baby did I went too fast

I had eighteen arms to hold you
I had eighteen lips to kiss you
I had eighteen ways to hold you
And still I'm wonderin' why you left me

Yeah, alright baby, c'mon back

Whoo! I gotta go, yeah, right now
Just why you left me, on my knees
Beggin', day and night
I gotta know right now girl
Just why you left me now
Aren't you comin' back
Please don't leave me, please just wait
I gotta know right now girl
Gotta know
I gotta know, whoo
I gotta know, yeah
I gotta know right now just why you left me on my knees

You're Telling Me Lies

Ten o'clock

Stayed away too long and I'm wonderin' why
Thought of all the reasons to make you change your mind
Thought of all the things that we did in the past
And still I'm wonderin' baby did I went too fast

I had eighteen arms to hold you
I had eighteen lips to kiss you
I had eighteen ways to love you
And still I'm wonderin' why you left me

Alright baby, c'mon back

Stayed away too long and I'm wonderin' why
Thought of all reasons to make you change your mind
Thought of all the things that we did in the past
And still I'm wonderin' baby did I went too fast

I had eighteen arms to hold you
I had eighteen lips to kiss you
I had eighteen ways to hold you
And still I'm wonderin' why you left me

Yeah, alright baby, c'mon back

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.
