On the Shelf Lyrics

You took my love and you threw it away
Gave you my heart and you took it that day
Took took took took it away
Took took took took it away
And I want it back
Went for a drive just the other day
I left my car and they towed it away
Took took took towed it away
Took took took towed it away
And I want it back
I'm like a dog without a bone
I'm like a house that's not a home
I'm like a watch that nobody wants to wind
(I've got all the time now)
I'm like a lock without a key
Nobody wants to lean on me
I'm so lonely, lonely without you
Back on the shelf am I baby
Went to a party 'cause you said you would go
I sat around but you didn't show
No no no you didn't show
No no no you didn't show, no no
I ring your house I don't get no reply
Well I don't know I think you're telling me lies
Ti ti ti telling me lies
Ti ti ti telling me lies oh oh
(repeat chorus)

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.
