I Don't Want to Spoil the Party [#] Lyrics

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here, so I will disappear
If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know

I had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if he's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I waited for too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for him

Though tonight he's made me sad
I still love him
If I find him I'll be glad
I still love him

I don't want to spoil the party so I'll go
I would hate my disappointment to show
There's nothing for me here so I will disappear
If he turns up while I'm gone please let me know

Though tonight he's made me sad
I still love him
If I find him I'll be glad
I still love him

I had a drink or two and I don't care
There's no fun in what I do if he's not there
I wonder what went wrong, I waited for too long
I think I'll take a walk and look for him

I think I'll take a walk and look for him
I think I'll take a walk

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.
