Don't you be the one Lyrics

Busy city full of talk back talk
Let them talk away
Mostly they don't mean no harm
They all got to say their say

I tell my story as it goes along
I got my own load to haul
I know sometimes I will be wrong
And when I fall, I'll fall

Only please,
Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one who brings me down

The thought of having you against me
Is a thought this man just can't stand
When he's standing tall for the rest of the world
He's tremblin' in the palm of your hand

Busy city full of talk back talk
Let them talk away
Mostly they don't mean no harm
They all got to say their say

I tell my story as it goes along
I got my own load to haul
I know sometimes I will be wrong
And when I fall, I'll fall

Only please,
Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one who brings me down

Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one
Don't you be the one who brings me down

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.
