Mystery and Crime Lyrics

Oh no, what have I done?
Oh no, what have I done?
I’ve got a pain in my heart
A beat that’s as loud as a drum

Now, now what do I do?
Now, now what do I do?
You got to get me out of here before these brand new clothes
Aren’t new anymore

I go to all the parties
I never have a good time
It’s like we’re acting out a movie
Mystery and crime
I said I never meant to hurt her
Now everybody’s screaming
Murder, murder, murder, murder, murder

Birthday parties and family affairs
Staying out late and putting on airs
You think I’m listening to you
I’m really not there

Deep, deep inside of my mind
Dee, deep inside of my mind
Lurks a nervous little boy
Obsessing over mystery and crime

I got to all the parties
I never have a good time
It’s like we’re acting out a movie
Mystery and crime
I said I never meant to hurt her
Now everybody’s screaming
Murder, murder, murder, murder, murder

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.
