By and By Lyrics

I told a lie and I'm telling lies all of the time
I told the truth and I'm telling you I feel just fine

I made you cry and I'll make you cry with the things I do
I made you laugh and I'll make you laugh without trying to

And now it's time for me to go before I let you down
By and by you'll realize how I've done you wrong

I talked a lot and I talk too much; I'll talk for you
I've been a fool and I'll make a fool out of you

So now it's time for me to go before I let you down
By and by you'll realize how I've done you wrong

Now it's time for me to go before I let you down
By and by you'll realize how I've done you wrong
By and by you'll realize how I've done you wrong

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.
