Sundowntown Lyrics

Sundown
Swept me off my feet
Downtown
I stepped inot the street

I never thought something that could take so long
Could be
Something that made me feel that went so wrong
You see

Sundown, downtown
What's it gonna be?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way

Sundown
I'm feeling things I've never felt
Downtown
I just could not help myself

I never thought that I could ever hurt so bad
It's true
Over something that I've never even had
It's you

Sundown, downtown
What can I do?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way

Don't you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
And I just can't stay

Sundown
Swept me off my feet
Downtown
I stepped inot the street

I never thought something that could take so long
Could be
Something that made me feel that went so wrong
You see

Sundown, downtown
What's it gonna be?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way

Sundown
I'm feeling things I've never felt
Downtown
I just could not help myself

I never thought that I could ever hurt so bad
It's true
Over something that I've never even had
It's you

Sundown, downtown
What can I do?

I'll wait for you to come my way
Take what you give me
I won't beg you to stay

Cause you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way

Don't you know it's been a long time
Since I've seen your face
It's been a long time
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
Since I felt this way
And I just can't stay

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.
