Lady Lyrics

I was always looking for lady
But baby you're so far away
If I could only call you my lady
Baby I could be your man
Wise men they say
Only fools fall in love
Why do we fall in love
Baby I just want you to come back
And give us all something to do
Give us all something to do
If you could only feel the flame
From the candle I burn for you
Lady if you want me to come back
I'll come running back to you
But baby if you ask me to come back
You've got to give me something to do

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.

Quite self explanatory: a guy is still in love with a lady that is now far away from him. He wants to get back with her, but if she does this time she needs to commit.

@cooperw But the thing is, the frontsinger is a girl. This obviously must have an influence on the meaning. Maybe it's a lesbian relationship where she could be the "man" or maybe she's singing to a guy and they reverse the roles. Or maybe she's just singing through the pov of a straight guy, hard to say...
