Rip and Tear Lyrics

Midnight and I'm ready 2 move
Don't need a reason I got the groove
My fire is burning it burns hot
When I start I'm working can't stop
Don't need permission don't need a cue
My motor's running and I'm coming after u
Hold me baby hold me tight
You feel so good in the middle of the night
Rip and Tear
Rockin' the house down
Taking the dare
Rip and Tear
Mulholland woman
She don't care
I need some action I need the chase
I'm riding hard and I'm thinking 'bout your face
Nice n'sleazy got the stuff
What you're giving me I never get enough
Load up momma load my gun
I shout 4 thrills and I'm second 2 none
Hold me baby hold me tight
U look so good in the middle of the night
Rip and Tear
Rockin' the house down
Taking the dare
Rip and Tear
Mulholland woman
She don't care
She don't care she don't care
She's takin' me high tonight
In the sky tonight
Star crust lover
Baby broken heart
Trail blazin' moma
Dressing for the part
Hardly Keats I know
But add a little burbon and lotsa noize
And it sounds good to 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.
