Anita Lyrics

Anita, it's time for me to go
Anita, it's time for me to go

"Anita, do you recall
How I loved you then?"
"You never loved me at all"
"Oh, of course I did"
"No"
"You know I did"

I need a basement for my thoughts
I need a convent on my block

I need wounds bound, my lady
And if you must know
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going
I'm going

Oh, where have you been
When I need friends?
Now I need some place to hang my head

I need some place to hang my head
I need some place to hang my head

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.

Anita... that's my girlfriend's name. She broke up with me after two years... it is sad... like this song. This song is pretty... unlike the break-up. Anita... that's a beautiful name... beautiful like her. Sigh... I miss my girlfriend dearly... :(

I like how when he sings this "I need a" sounds like "Anita"

I wonder if this was a coincidence or if the two mean the same?
