Just a Kid Lyrics

Maybe I'm just a kid
Maybe I just don't fit in
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
I'm ready to go now.

I don't wanna go to school
But I don't get to make the rules
Too early too early too early
Too early in the morning

Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Has to do something they don't want to do
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Has to do something, why's that true?

Maybe I'm not so big
Maybe I just don't fit in
I'm ready I'm ready I'm ready
I'm ready for more now.

I don't wanna go to bed
So much going on in my head
Not tired not tired not tired
Not tired right now.

Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Has to do something they don't want to do
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Has to do something, why's that true?

Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Has to do something, let's have some fun

Na na na na na na na na na na na na

Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everybody everybody everybody
Everybody everyone someone everyone
Has to grow up
Let's have some fun

Too early too early too early
Too early in the morning

Not tired right now.

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.
