Bright Lights, Big City Lyrics

Bright lights, big city
Went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Went to my baby's head

Tried to tell my momma
But she didn't hear a word I said

So long, pretty baby
You are gonna need my house someday
So long, pretty baby
You are gonna need my house someday

Gonna wish you had listened to something I had to say

Go on, pretty baby
And knock yourself out
Go ahead, pretty baby
Don't know what love is all about

Bright lights, big city
Went to my baby's head
Bright lights, big city
Went to my baby's head

Tried to tell my momma
But she didn't hear a word I said

Go on, pretty baby
And knock yourself out
Go ahead, pretty baby
You don't know what love is all about

Bright lights, big city
Bright, bright lights
Big, fat city
Bright lights, br-br-bright lights
Big city
Bright lights
Bright lights

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.
