Lord, Oh Lord Lyrics

Now an' I'm goin' away, baby
Just to worry you off my mind
Now an' I'm goin' away, baby
Just to worry you off my mind
Now an' you keep me bothered
Worried, nearly all the time

Now an' then sometimes I feel like I'm goin'
Goin' away to stay
Now an' sometimes I feel like I'm goin'
Goin' away to stay
Well, I get to thinkin' 'bout my baby
I just a swear an' I can't stay away

Now, I want you to tell me baby, baby
Just what's gettin' wrong wit' you?
I want you to tell me baby, baby
Just what's gettin' wrong wit' you?
Now, an' you don't treat me nothin'
Baby, like you used to do.

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.
