Sweetheart Lyrics

You have a sweet heart, sweetheart
You have a nice smile, baby
You drove me crazy down lover’s lane
It’s close to pain, this love I have for you
I cannot tame my desire for you
And when we start to bed, don’t forget I love you
Oh my love, take my hand we’re walking
The moon and stars are singing in the sky
And everyone I know must be jealous
Cause they don’t have such a love as I
You are my sweetheart, sweetheart
You are my baby, baby
You drove me crazy down lover’s lane
I can’t explain this love I have for you
I cannot tame my desire for you
And when we start to pet don’t forget I love you
And when we start to pet don’t forget I love 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.
