Queen Bee Lyrics

Well I do like a certain girl
She moves like a dancing dream
I saw everything I've seen
And I meant everything I mean
Oh queen bee you're always happy and free
Oh queen bee land by me, by me
She's kissed everyone I've kissed
She's missed everyone I've missed
And her guess is always as good as mine
And I'm blessed, she treats me so damn kind
She's grown every seed I've grown
She's known everything I've known
And my dreams they always coincide
And bows always float in time
And oh queen bee, I'm always happy to see

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.

Doesn't he sing 'sting me' in this song? I take it as being about infatuation, blind love. He'll do anything that she does, think what he thinks she's thinking. But he knows she's a bee and she's dangerous!
