Keep Your Promises Lyrics

She's upstairs she's getting dirty
I'm downstairs coming clean
You always were so mean
She's out back in her own world
And I'm right here on my knees
You always were such a tease

Keep your promises

She don't know how to make these machines work
Who and where and when darling where you been
I could watch you breathe for hours and hours on end
I'm trembling again

Keep your promises
I won't go home I won't go home

She's upstairs she's getting dirty
I'm downstairs coming clean
You always were so mean
She's out back in her own world
And I'm right here on my knees
Begging you please

Keep your promises
I won't go home I won't go home

Ignore it and the problem goes away
I will not be ignored today no
I am a whirlwind I am a hurricane
And I don't think you see what you're doing to me
And I don't have a damned thing to say

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.

I'm so surprised no posted for this song yet!

She's upstairs she's getting dirty I'm downstairs coming clean You always were so mean

This is an awesome song...though I couldn't even make a slight suggestion about the meaning. This song has me totally confused.
