Over You Lyrics

Here I go again
Just gonna play it like a fool again
Here I go again
Over you
Over you

I'm just like a bell again
You know, I'm starting to ring again
Here I go again
Over you
Over you

Typically, when I had it
Treated it like dirt
Now, naturally, when I don't have it
I am chasing lesson-less rainbows

Here we go again
I guess, I'm like a fool again
Here I go again
Over you
Over you
Over you
Over you

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.

Just a good old-fashioned rock n roll song. I'm pretty sure this never got recorded in the studio. The only place I know it to be available is on the live album "1969 Vol. 2" Shame because it's when of their best songs.

I don't know shit about Velvet Underground, but I know this is how they wanted to sound. How they acknowledged their sound as being. With the music like a backing track just driving along. Anyone who wants to know Velvet Underground HAS to hear this song because it is a good display of the essence of them.

i always thought he said "lesson less rainbows" instead of "less and less rainbows". he is saying that when he has it, he doesn't care about it. now that he doesn't have it, he is chasing pipe dreams and not learning anything from it. one of my favorite VU songs

@dugapony I heard it as lesson-less rainbows too, makes sense that way
