If I Knew Lyrics

If I knew what was bothering you
I would run to your side
I don't know why
I would just die if you left me

Can't you see
What you're doing to me
Are you playing a game
Is it always the same
Am I to blame?
Or is anyone?

I don't want to settle down
With any other girl, but you
So I'm just gonna wait around
'Til you decide what you're gonna do

Can't you see
What you're doing to me?
Are you playing a game?
It's always the same?
Am I to blame?
Or is anyone?

I don't want to settle down
With any other girl, but you
So I'm just gonna wait around
'Til you decide what you're gonna do

If I knew, what was bothering you,
I would run to your side, I don't know why,
I would just die, if you left me.

Can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Are you playin' a game? It's always the same.
Am I to blame, or is anyone?

[Chorus]
I don't want to settle down with any other girl but you,
So I'm just gonna wait around,
'Til you decide what you're gonna do. (do)

Can't you see, what you're doing to me?
Are you playin' a game? It's always the same.
Am I to blame, or is anyone? (anyone, anyone)

[Chorus]
Oh.

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.
