Pretty Ballerina Lyrics

i had a date with a pretty ballerina
her hair so brilliant that it hurt my eyes
i asked her for this dance and then she obliged me
was i surprised was i surprised no not at all

i saw her yesterday it could have been tomorrow
i couldn't keep the joy that was inside
i begged for her to tell me if she really loves me
somewhere a mountain is moving afraid it's moving in on me

and when i wake on a dreary monday morning
i open up my eyes to find there's rain
and something strange within says go ahead and find her
just close your eyes just close your eyes and she'll be there

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.
