The Boy I Left Behind Lyrics

One glance was all it took.
I knew it'd be so good.
One kiss was all it took.
Knew it would feel so good.
I still think about you... I always will
I still think about you, the boy I left behind
I want you for my own.
I want you... for my own.
So far away from you.
(I want you...)
What's a girl meant to do?
(... for my own...)
My thoughts are full of you
(I want you...)
What am I meant to do?
(... for my own...)
I still think about you
I always will
I still think about you, the boy I left behind.

One day I'll find my way back to you
One day I'll find my way back to you
I still think about you
I always will
I still think about you, the boy I left behind.

I want you for my own.
I want you for my own,
I want you for my own.
I want you ...for my own.

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.
