Boy, You Shouldn't Have Lyrics

boy you shouldn't have watched me hang
(boy you shouldn't have watched me hang)
the way my face looked
(way his face looked)
unlike a man
(unlike a man)
girl you shouldn't have watched him drown
the way his hands waved
(way his hands waved)
without a sound
(without a sound)
kids you should probably cover your eyes
(kids you should probably cover your eyes)
cause this might come as
(this might come as)
too much surprise
(too much surprise)

and my curiosity
(it's too much
it's too much for him)
has become way too much for me
(it'll probably kill him)
and my curiosity
(it's too much
it's too much for him)
has become way too much for me
(it'll probably kill him)

damn i shouldn't have visited that house
(damn i shouldn't have visited that house)
folks say they
(folks say they)
still have my old couch
(still have my old couch)
and my curiosity
has become way too much for me
and my curiosity
has become way too much for me
and if you'd like to ring my life
i'll leave out all of that ugly strife
and if you could teach me
how to not care
how to not care
(wouldn't you like to know)
how to not care
(i'll never tell you)
how to not care
(wouldn't you like to know)
how to not care
(i'll never tell you)
how to not care
(wouldn't you like to know)
how to not care
(i'll never tell 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.
