A Girl Can Dream Lyrics

I've been trying to keep my mouth shut baby
I've been trying to change my dark ways maybe
I've been dreaming of a time
When I always do you fine
A girl can dream

I've been working on my cold heart honey
I've been working for my own green money
I've been working for a smile
I've been missing for a while
A girl can dream

Oh I have sinned
I've been around
I have cried
The prettiest sounds
When your heart breaks
My heart aches
I will pay for my mistakes
No more will I make
A girl can dream

I've been doing lots of window shoppin'
No more spoiling myself rotten
I've been cleaning up my act
No more fiction
It's a fact
A girl can dream

Oh I have sinned
I've been around
I have cried
The prettiest sounds
When your heart breaks
My heart aches
I will pay for my mistakes
No more will I make
A girl can dream

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.

The verses are all about an ambitious goal: treating her partner better, but the "a girl can dream" refrain is really interesting to me. It might mean she knows she's not likely to succeed at cleaning up her act. It might mean HE doesn't have faith that she will. And it might mean dreaming is all she can do about her old "dark" ways, which she misses.
