Fend It Off Lyrics

He intermitted honesty by adding up his dignity
He put it in his pocketbook, a wooden nickel in his sheath
(That’s why we say)
Love, fend it off
(We say)
Love, fend it off
He’d leave her heart in misery
She’d leave it in his company
If ever he would relegate
A love for her to imitate
(We say)
Love, fend it off
(That’s why we say)
Love, fend it off
(You know we say)
Love, fend it off
Fend it off
I’ve fallen from grace
In a million disguises
All over this game
There’s a lot to be said
For the women who fled me
All gone, you're still stained

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.
