A Bad Night Lyrics

Baby, you're cool
And even though you've never been to school
I know you're fine
but then you change your mind
Then you start on driftin'
and fall on behind

You've been my girl
You've been mine
all of the time

A bad night
its gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall

ah, 'cause you left me waiting in the corner
and i know you're never gonna come back for me
and though you said you loved me
and said you needed all of my love
a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad night
its gonna be

A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall

Maybe if the weather was just a little better
it might not have happened that way
but the situation was gettin' pretty bad, bad
A bad bad bad bad bad night it's gonna be

A bad night
it's gonna be
A bad night
I guarantee
tonight I'll have
A bad night
I know I shall
I know I shall

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.
