Baby, That's Not The Point Lyrics

I shouldn't share and I'm trying to be keen
And I'll travel the world to the American pier

But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point

You take my hand, tell me to forget my fears
You tell me every day girl to be a man

But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point
But baby, that's not the point
Baby, that's not the point

I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears
I can't forget my fears

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.

Whenever I hear the guitar part it just sounds so similar to Ben E. Kings stand by me.

It's very clear in the lyrics what its about. Wanting to be a man that is sensitive and has fears.
