How's The World Treating You Lyrics

I've had nothing but sorrow since you said we were through
There's no hope for tomorrow how's the world treating you
Every sweet thing that mattered has been broken in two
All my dreams have been shattered how's the world treating you
Got no plans for next Sunday got no plans for today
Everyday is blue Monday every day you're away
Though our pathways have partied to your mem'ry I'm true
Guess I'll stay broken hearted how's the world treating you
Do you wonder about me like I'm hoping you do
Are you lonesome without me have you found someone new
Are you burning and yearning do you ever get blue
Do you think of my returning how's the world treating you

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.
