After the Ball Lyrics

I hear people laughing on the corner, by the square
The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there
I've been in here a listening for your footsteps down the hall
And I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

Loving you is sweet addiction, I need only you
Just as long as you come back we'll do what you want to
Give the night your laughter but I'll have you after all
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

I Walk the Line

I hear people laughing on the corner, by the square
The neon flickers on my wall and I know you're out there
I've been in here a listening for your footsteps down the hall
And I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

Loving you is sweet addiction, I need only you
Just as long as you come back we'll do what you want to
Give the night your laughter but I'll have you after all
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

After the ball is over, after the ball
If you cannot stand, I've got a place for you to fall
The blinds are drawn and I have turned the clock-face to the wall
I'll be waiting for you after the ball

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.
