Different Tongues Lyrics

Do you know me
Can you tell me so
Do you know how my
Motivations grow
And it's all right
That's something you ought to know about me
Are you into being on the line
Facing people one at a time
And it's all right
That's something you ought to know about me
You ought to know me
Well enough by now
Watching me growing
You are the why and the how
Ev'rything you show me
Making it so we need each other more and more
I'm not exactly altogether sure
That I could handle being left here all alone
I got a house honey
I need a home yeah
We were speaking in diff'rent tongues
Still it mattered
We did what then was done
It's still all right
That's something you ought to know about me
Do you trust me
Do you trust yourself
Do you know when it's time to ask for help
It's all right
That's something you ought to know
'Cause it has to do with growing
That's something you ought to know about me

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.
