On the Prowl Lyrics

I’m a firecracker on the 4th of July
I’ll make your mama beg, I’ll make your daddy cry
I’ll walk a million miles for just one piece of your pie
I’m not a stranger, darlin’, so don’t you be shy,
I'll give you something that you'll never forget,
We're gonna do it till we're both outta breath,
Come on darling cause you're making me wet,
So give me something that I haven't had yet,
I'm gonna treat you right, just let momma take your hand,
You betta hang on tight
I'm gonna treat you right,
Gonna take you home tonight,
It's gonna be better darling than you ever thought it could
I'm gonna give you something that you'll never forget,
We're gonna do it till we're both outta breath,
Come on darlin cause you're making me wet,
So give me something That I haven't had yet.

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.

Well this one's pretty obvious.. she's trying to get in some girl's pants, possibly a straight girl.
