Don't Lyrics

I was such a lucky man
Before I turned the tables

You were everything to me, whoa yeah
Now I'm like a fallen angel

Made a promise to myself
I would love nobody else
But I don't know what came over me
No, I don't know what came over me
I was such a fool
All I ever cared about was you
Always you, always you

It was only for a night
A moment in madness

But I've paid a heavy price, oh yeah
For these endless days of sadness

Made a promise to myself
That I wouldn't love nobody else
But I don't know what came over me
No, I don't know what came over me
I was such a fool
But all I ever cared about was you
Always you, always you

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

Made a promise to myself
That I would love nobody else
But I don't know what came over me (I made a promise to myself)
No, I don't know what came over me (oh, that I would love nobody else)
But I don't know what came over me (I was such a fool)
No, I don't know what came over me (I wish that I knew)
But I don't know what came over me (all I ever cared about was you)
No, I don't know what came over me (don't know what, over me)
I don't know what came over me

I was such a lucky man
Before I turned the tables

You were everything to me, whoa yeah
Now I'm like a fallen angel

Made a promise to myself
I would love nobody else
But I don't know what came over me
No, I don't know what came over me
I was such a fool
All I ever cared about was you
Always you, always you

It was only for a night
A moment in madness

But I've paid a heavy price, oh yeah
For these endless days of sadness

Oh yeah
Oh yeah

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.
