Must Look Like We're In Love Lyrics

Well I met you at the laundromat
Cowboy boots and a baseball bat
Talked 'til our clothes were all dry
And you liked me and I liked you
Half our town liked us too
They walked out and watched us go by

Everybody smiles when we walk past
I don't know why they laugh
Guess we looked funny and happy as doves
We must look like we're in love

Well sweethearts must be gettin' rare
Cause we turn heads everywhere
But don't they hold hands anymore?
Oh put two straws in a soda pop
Or even go to a soda shop
I feel like an old dinosaur

Everybody smiles when we walk past
I don't know why they laugh
Guess we looked funny and happy as doves
We must look like we're in love

Now everybody smiles when we walk past
I don't know why they laugh
Guess we looked funny and happy as doves
We must look like we're in love

Yea we must look like we're in love
Yea we must look like we're in love

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 thought it was "Sweethearts must be gettin' rare"...? but I notice it's written as "gettin' red" on another site, too. what does getting red mean?
