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.

Umm...A girl who always wants sex (duh) but the guy isn't satisfied so he sleeps around. I don't know. Love this song.

... a girl who always wants sex... that much is true. But that is all she has to offer and after a while when the novelty of having a little animal is done he is left with nothing. So he has to look elsewhere for compassion and warmth when he is down... ironically by sneaking out when she is asleep, much like someone would do when their partner doesn't provide the only thing she does.... sex. In summary, she is nowt but a little animal... good while it lasts, tragic when it ends.
