Iowa City Lyrics

Girls, the boys don't cheat in Iowa City
Iowa City, nothing to do
Now they're crisp and they're clean
Iowa City
Iowa, Iowa
Skies are blue

Not so, Chicago
Never, New York
When you're off and you're looking for something
What can you do?
Where can you go?

Girls, the boys aren't cheap in Iowa City
Iowa City, nowhere to go
Now they're slippery and sweet
In Iowa City
Iowa Iowa
Burning slow

When you're off and you're looking for someone
What can you do?
Where can you go?
Iowa Iowa
Iowa City
Simply and truly, my dear
We may lose our hearts
We're so clever and witty
And find true love right here
Iowa City

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.
