Only If You're Certain Lyrics

Only if you're certain
That I'm the perfect human
Only if the time frame
Will never get the blame

Only from your heartbeat
Only words in concrete
Never call to tell me
The beat went out of time

‘Cos I’m a lazy quitter
I panic and I dither
I’ll only lose your patience
You’ll only find me rude

But I’ve the perfect body
For you to flip and carry
And all your friends will love me
‘Cos I put in the time

I know you think you're only
Trying to love me
But I can't take a retreat
I hope you understand

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.

Has anyone else noticed similar lyrics in songs from across the years of their back catalogue?

In this, Rebecca mentions how she's perfect to be 'flipped' (I'm not sure if she is referencing sex or something innocent which I can't work out)

In their newish song Not Mine To Love, Rebecca sings how she has a lover who 'flips her over' like her ex lover never would (once again this has inferences to sex?)

And in Sorry About The Doom, she sings about hearts beating out of time and in this she also talks about hearts beating out of time

Proper love Slow Club
