We Had it Right (ft. k.d. lang) Lyrics

[Nellie Mckay:]
Watchin' you glide towards me dear
Oh ho ho it's clear
Rumor was wrong
We were right

[k.d. lang:]
Swathed in all white as if a dove
Oh ho ho my love
They heard it wrong
We were right

[NM:]
Though your ears may hear it all my friend
Rumor has it
Rumor has it wrong

[Nellie Mckay & k.d. lang:]
And though your eyes may see it happenin'
Rumor has it
Rumor has it wrong

[KDL:]
Watchin' you walk towards me sweet
Oh ho so complete
Rumor was wrong
We were right

[NM:]
Clutchin' your coat as we depart
Oh ho ho my heart
They heard it wrong
We’re all right
Rumor had it wrong

[Nellie Mckay & k.d. lang:]
Rumor had it wrong

[NM:]
And we had it right

[KDL:]
Quit talkin' 'bout it

[Nellie Mckay & k.d. lang:]
Rumor had it wrong

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.
