True Love Lyrics

I looked over the balcony
rising from the sea
sunshine coming overhead
the sky lit up like a cigarette
I didn't even go to sleep
when it was coming over me

I thought I saw you on the street again
you were walking with a new friend
all my life
there's been one thing
true love
true love

so I drive down to the county line
I watch as ladies pull their skirts so high
hips are swinging in that heavenly strut
hustlin' down the corners of the you-know-what

I'm picking up vibrations
I can feel it in my blood
I think I died of dehydration
when I was waiting on the flood
true love
true love
true love

they call me Mr. Serious
but I got so many dreams

cocktail criminals and parking lot games
I dressed to ride like Jesse James
straddle in the saddle
baby's got a six gun rattle
I keep it underneath my coat
'cause death rattles in my throat
I've got just one red rose
everybody knows

true love
true love
true love
true love
true love
true love

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.
