Petulia Lyrics

Say just right when you're around
Take a drive, take a drive to town
Meaningful, nothing but you
Petulia, you're in my blood again

Like a heart undone
Like a love without a sound
Like a heartbeat
Moving through me

Say it's just right
Life on my brown
Take it low
Take a drive to town
Meaningless, everything but you

Petulia, let's make a wish
For a heart undone
A love without a sound
Like a heartbeat
Moving through me

Like a heart undone
Like a love without a sound
Like a heartbeat
Moving through 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.

Thanks for the catch. I corrected the lyric, but it's not showing up yet.
