I Didn't Mean It Lyrics

I didn't mean to be untrue didn't mean to cheat on you
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I didn't mean to be untrue but she reminded me of you
And you know I've been gone so long
I didn't mean it I didn't mean it oh my darling I know I've done you wrong
I didn't mean it I didn't mean it even though you've been gone so long
I didn't mean to bring you shame didn't mean to hurt your name
At the time it didn't seem so wrong
I know that you've been lonely too so I'm not blaming you
Cause I know I've been gone so long
I didn't mean it

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.
