I Don't Really Mind Lyrics

Shifting, shifting, shifting
aloud like it makes so
much difference to me.
Huffing, puffing, marching
around like I know how
much better it should be.

I know it looks like I disagree
nine tenths of the time...

But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind

Childhood puppy is old and
gruff, your mother wants to
give him away.
Piller of strength was lifted
off his deathbed,
3 weeks ago today.

But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind
But I don't really mind

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.

Guys, I was listening to this and "Sun's coming up", and it sounds as though Kevin's dad battled cancer, maybe died. We are learning more and more about Kevin Parker!
