Bet You Think I'm Lonely Lyrics

I have seen you once with your altruistic bandage
And I know that you have given me the eye
Let me see you twice and I will be your appendage
In this silver dollar kingdom of the blind
I bet you think I'm lonely
I bet you think I've got you on my mind
You were yours and I was always mine
I bet you think I'm lonely
I bet you think I'm crying all the time
Pity always said she'd be your bride
I have fallen down at least every other Sunday
And on every other Monday I have cried
I have played the clown
I have danced around your glory
I have waited I have waited for my line
I have written down almost everything you told me
And I sold it for a purple wedding gown
I can't hear you now when you say that you are sorry
And I'll never stoop to polishing your crown

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.
