A Little Bit of Rum Lyrics

Wait for the night to come
We look like lovers in the dark
And I can't stand to see
The way you cry over me
Stand up and say
I know that you and I
Will surely have our day
Please, open up that door
So I can let the world know
What I'm really looking for
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me, baby
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
I wake up to see
The whole world waking up to me
And words fall from the sky
Rainging down on me
Like a big manatee
Red and white perfume
Filling up each and every room
Spilling on the floor
Swallowing the quiet
That will never be born
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me, baby
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
A little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
A little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you

Wait for the night to come
We look like lovers in the dark
And I can't stand to see 
The way you cry over me
Stand up and say
I know that you and I
Will surely have our day
Please, open up that door
So I can let the world know
What I'm really looking for
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me, baby
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
I wake up to see
The whole world waking up to me
And words fall from the sky
Rainging down on me
Like a big manatee
Red and white perfume
Filling up each and every room
Spilling on the floor
Swallowing the quiet
That will never be born
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me, baby
A little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
A little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you
A little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
Little bit of rum
Little bit of rum won't do
To help me forget about you

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.
