What About Me Lyrics

I have always had
A real problem with getting down
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know
I know you've been sleeping around
Your bed's full of idiots from town to town
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know

Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

And now, I'm back to the plot
I'm sorry I got side-tracked there, I'm bad out of plan
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know

The words that they said sounded like
They were underwater, but I understand
But it's alright you know
I really don't mind that you know

Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

Out of sight
It's not right, she said
Leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

Out of sight (Oooh)
It's not right, she said
Come on, leave town right now, say
Oh oh oh oh

I have always had 
A real problem with getting down 
But it's alright you know 
I really don't mind that you know 
I know you've been sleeping around 
Your bed's full of idiots from town to town 
But it's alright you know 
I really don't mind that you know

Out of sight 
It's not right, she said 
Leave town right now, say 
Oh oh oh oh

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.
