Q&A

When I'm Not There Lyrics

When I'm not there
When I'm not there

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever talk of me
Do you ever ask for me
When I'm not there

Have you ever thought of me
Have you ever talked of me
Have you ever longed for me
When I'm not there

Wonderin' if you're true to me
And if our love will always be
I tried to get you by my side
But you said
"No no no no no no"

Don't you ever make me blue
Won't you let me call on you
And may all my dreams come true
When I'm not there

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever talk of me
Do you ever ask for me
When I'm not there

No no no no no

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.
