Something's Gonna Happen Lyrics

(m. crenshaw)

The dead of night and I'm all alone, yeah
I got my hand on the telephone
I've got to get ahold of you, 'cause when I do
I tell you something's gonna happen
Now just forget about your boyfriend, yeah
And I'll forget about my girlfriend
Come over and I'll show you how, I need you now
I said something's gonna happen
Aw baby, baby, baby
You know you really really wreck my nerves
You got my head goin' round and my feet off the ground
(you got me hangin' on the telephone)
Now we're all alone with the lights on down low, yeah
Rockin' music on the radio
It's just the way it ought to be, and momentarily
I tell you something's gonna happen

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.
