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.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
What about the rest of the lyrics?? What's given is only what the man says, not what the woman sings during the majority of the song :(
I've been waiting all night long for you To ask me to dance The light shone down at me that night And I felt scared
I've been waiting all night long for you To ask me to dance The light shone down at me that night And I felt scared
Then you came up dressed In your tuxedo vest Whispering in my ear
Then you came up dressed In your tuxedo vest Whispering in my ear
You're a very good dancer, What is your name, what is your name? You're a very good dancer!
You're a very good dancer, What is your name, what is your name? You're a very good dancer!
If I only knew You'd haunt my dreams for years Whispering in my ear
If I only knew You'd haunt my dreams for years Whispering in my ear
You're a very good dancer, What is your name, what is your name? You're a very good dancer!
You're a very good dancer, What is your name, what is your name? You're a very good dancer!
If I only knew You'd haunt my dreams for years Whispering in my ear...
If I only knew You'd haunt my dreams for years Whispering in my ear
You're a very good dancer, What is your name, what is your name? You're a very good dancer!
