P is for Penelope Lyrics

Watch yourself changing

What are you hiding on the inside?
Let it show
What are you keeping on the inside?
Let me know

Penelope
Spending all my time on thoughts of Penelope
Why must she be beautiful?

Oh, you never answer the phone unless you're dancing alone
You fell in love with the other

Hear yourself talking

What are you holding on the inside?
Let it go
What are you keeping on the inside?
Let me know

Penelope
Sing a lazy song and call it Penelope
Sing a lazy song and call it Penelope
Sing a lazy song and call it Penelope

Oh, you never answer the phone unless you're dancing alone
You fell in love with the other

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.

the change from the first half of this song to the second half is really unexpected, but somehow it works
