I gotta tell ya
I'll make it better
But I know there's somethin' I needed to say
When I was out, though
Maybe you were better alone
I know I'll make it home

She told me sweet thang
Run a labor
In your shoes
Touch me till I follow in love
I wanna help her
Maybe we were better alone
I wanna show you how

And then we walked out
Make it made now
I said I want it but I never alone
I wanna show you
Maybe we were somethin' uncool
I wanna make you sing

Uh uh oh
Uh uh oh
Uh uh oh

All These Things That I've Done

These lyrics are currently locked and can only be edited by moderators and administrators.

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.

The begining is Brandon singing on Dave's voicemail. When they couldn't meet up that's how they shared lyric ideas.

this song has always been on my pc as "untitled".It is one of my favourite songs, partially because it is relatively unknown compared to say "Somebody told me". Thankyou for telling me the title!! It is nice to fnd one song with not 500 entries of "OMG BRANDON FLOWERS IS SOOO SEXY!!" althougth i would say that i probably wouldn't disagree! The song is different to any song Ive heard recently and the beginning is v. clever. Anyway just wanted to say that i think the whole band are v. talented and I really love their stuff.

This song is soooo sexy. For some reason it reminds me of a coming of age type movie- it's the song that would be played when everything comes together near the end. At sunset. In the deserts of Vegas. Yeah I've thought about it alot!
