Why You Wanna Mess It All Up? Lyrics

Trust is a thing, a thing of the past
I knew this relationship wouldn't last
You never ever seem to keep your word to me

Your love is good but your time is bad
The most irresponsible man I ever had, Lawd
You left me hanging for the very last time tonight
That's right

Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?

You got some stuff that I don't understand
Who can I depend on if it ain't my man?
I dare you say "Gimme one more chance" again
The end

I tried to provide
A place for you in my life
But you ain't ready
And you ain't steady
And you've run out of time

Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?
Why you wanna mess it, why you wanna mess it
Why you wanna mess it all up?

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.
