Say I Won't Be There Lyrics

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd
Say I still remember
Promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
Oh, I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover

Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
I won't be there

Just A Little Lovin'

Goin' Back

Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
You can tell them
I'm not going anywhere
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
 
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
If you see my darling
Out there in the crowd
Say I still remember 
Promises we vowed
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
 
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover
 
Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
 
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
Bring me back my darling
Be my friend for life
Oh, I don't want no new lover
I just want a true lover
 
Call the boys and tell them
I won't spoil their fun
Everyone there dancing
But I'm the lonely one
Yesterday was dreaming
But my dream came tumbling down
 
Call the boys and tell them
Say I won't be there
I won't 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.
