Spoken For Lyrics

Listen
I may have given you the wrong impression
This is
Something that I really ought to mention

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

Listen
It’s best that we avoid misapprehension
This is
Something that I’d never had intended

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for
Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

As far as weakness goes
This one’s hard to beat
I know, I know
I'm sure I'll repeat this, stay
Wait and see

As far as these things go
I should never speak
I know, I know
I'm sure I'll repeat this, stay
Wait and see

Well I should tell you
I’ve been spoken for

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.

i really quite like this song, its music and meaning are very simple but often the simplest things are the best. it describes being tempted to cheat on your partner and knowing you should say you have been 'spoken for' but temptation isnt allowing you to. great tune from a great band

i think that instead of "i should really feed this thing" the line goes "I'm sure I will beat this thing"
