Not The Way Lyrics

Now once when I wanted to go
My poor heart told me no
But I can't stand it no more
My cup has overflowed
Although it's you I once adored babe
I need your love no more

So you can live your life
While I go on living mine
I wish you good luck and goodbye
I'll see you around some time
It's time you should be wise, yeah
And take off your love disguise

Woah,,, oh yeah... yeah oh yeah

Now once when I wanted to go
My poor heart told me no
And now I can't stand it no more
My cup is overflowed
Although it's you I once adored babe
I need your love no more

So you can live your life
While I go on living mine
I wish you good luck and goodbye
I'll see you around some time

It's time that you should be wise, yeah
And take off your love disguise

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.
