Guess Who Ran Away with the Milkman Lyrics

They say that we'll get married but
I’d quite like to run away
Everybody thinks you're perfect but
I don’t care what people say
I don't want to get a mortgage
or think of when I'm 63
Or in terms of dogs and babies
I know how much you love me
But I don’t think I love you
Anymore

But I don't think you understand
And naturally I'm a little wilder
And I don’t need to hold your hand
I don't want to get a mortgage
or think of when I'm 63
Or in terms of dogs and babies
And know how much you love me
But I don’t think I love you
Anymore

I've come to the conclusion that
There's far too many girls and boy meet
Someone else can see you're hurt
I'm really not that sweet
I don't want to get a mortgage
or think of when I'm 63
Or in terms of dogs and babies
And know how much you love me
But I don’t think that I love you

(She don't think that she loves him)
And I don’t think that I need you
(She don't think that she needs him)
Anymore

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.

So pretty... a very good song. It's somewhere between hopeful and sad. I love the way these lines sound: "But I don't think you understand And naturally I'm a little wilder And I don't need to hold your hand"
