You Dropped A Bomb On Me Lyrics

You were the girl that changed my world
You were the girl for me
You lit the fuse I stand accused
You were the first for me

But you turned me out baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me on baby.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You were my thrills, you were my pills
You dropped a bomb on me

You turn me out, you turn me on, you turned me loose
Then you turned me wrong

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me out baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

Just like Adam and Eve.
Said you'd set me free, you took me to the sky
I'd never been so high

You were my pills, you were my thrills
You were my hope baby, you were my smoke

You dropped a bomb on me, hey baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me out, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me on, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

We were in motion, felt like lotion
You were the girl for me
You were the first explosion,
Turned out to be corrosion
You were the first for me.

But you turned me out, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I won't forget what you done to me, baby.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I, II, III won't forget it
I, II, III won't forget it

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I, II, III won't forget it
I, II, III won't forget it

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me.

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me.

You turned me out, then you turned me on

You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me

Yearning for Your Love

You were the girl that changed my world
You were the girl for me
You lit the fuse I stand accused
You were the first for me

But you turned me out baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me on baby.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You were my thrills, you were my pills
You dropped a bomb on me

You turn me out, you turn me on, you turned me loose
Then you turned me wrong

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me out baby

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

Just like Adam and Eve.
Said you'd set me free, you took me to the sky
I'd never been so high

You were my pills, you were my thrills
You were my hope baby, you were my smoke

You dropped a bomb on me, hey baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me out, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

But you turned me on, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

We were in motion, felt like lotion
You were the girl for me
You were the first explosion,
Turned out to be corrosion
You were the first for me.

But you turned me out, baby
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I won't forget what you done to me, baby.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.
You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I, II, III won't forget it
I, II, III won't forget it

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

You dropped a bomb on me, baby
You dropped a bomb on me.

I, II, III won't forget it
I, II, III won't forget it

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me.

You turned me out, you turned me on
And then you dropped me to the ground
You dropped a bomb on me.

You turned me out, then you turned me on

You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me
You dropped a bomb on me

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.

Some say the true meaning of the song is a memory of the race riots in Tulsa, where they are from, back in 1921. When "on the morning of June 1, the planes dropped incendiary bombs and fired rifles at black residents on the ground." hence the lyrics "You dropped a bomb on me, baby You dropped a bomb on me. I, II, III won't forget it "
