Lady Friend Lyrics

Here it comes again,
It's going to happen to me
Here it comes,
I should have learned to duck
She's going to say,
She's going away
And I will have to live without her and survive

Here it comes,
It looks just like the last wave I drowned in
Here it comes,
And I'm so far from shore
She's going to go,
And take her trinkets
And I will have to live without her and survive

Here it comes again,
The night is going to fall
Here it comes,
She's going to say good-bye
She's going to go,
And leave only me
And I will have to live without her and survive.

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.

Cover art for Lady Friend lyrics by Byrds, The

I love this band and wish more people would listen to music of a few decades ago....such talent. The music is often more innocent and also more romantic due to the roles of men and women at that time. Love was more genuine as it wasn't so often combined with lust...that came after the wedding:) Just the fact that this song is entitled "Lady Friend" shows how dated it is. The song's about a man worried that his love is leaving.
