You Are A Lover Lyrics

You are a lover from today
Can you afford to dump a friend?
Will you ignore me again?
Will he always be there?

And now you are walking hand in hand
Demonstrating something unreal
I know it feels good to depend
Will he always be there?

It's not a shame nor a glory
Just a romantic tale
Maybe you'll never be sorry
I'm not always quite right

You are a lover from today
(This is the first day)
Can you afford to dump a friend?
(One friend less)
Will you ignore me again?
(Once again)
Will he always be there?

And from the corner of the street
I see you kissing his face
Does he smell really sweet
Will he, will you, I'm sad, aren't I?

You are a lover from today
It's a romantic tale
I will dream of you tonight
And it all will happen to me

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.

I guess that it's ok to feel a little insicure and in doubt when you're getting closer to someone you care/don't know well yet. For example, I always feel like I'm not getting the nuances because English is not my First language (not that I wish it was) and even if can understand or believe something, it's more hard for me to grasp something immediately or trust. Small steps are ok usually, but I guess in the song the protagonist is feeling insicure and asking for something more, a fact, to make her feel that she can trust the other person.
