Let's Keep It That Way Lyrics

There's no need to lie
Without me half trying, I could love you
It shows in your eyes
That you feel the same way I do
But wherever I go, my conscience goes
What more can I say
It's only desire, not yet a fire
Let's keep it that way

'Cause I don't want to have to tell him a lie
When I get back home
'Cause it would tear apart his fairy tale world
If I did him wrong
And lying to him would hurt me more
Than leaving you this way
So before we forget, we're not cheaters yet
Let's keep it that way

Let's finish this wine
'Cause I'm not thinking too clearly tonight
And the touch of your hand
Makes it so hard for me to tell wrong from right
He waits at home and he's there alone
And though I'd like to stay
Before I give in
Let's call it just friends
And keep it that way

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.

It's a woman at dinner with a man. They are not a couple, she has another man at home. Maybe it's someone she works with. She's very attracted to him, and thinks he is attracted to her, but she feels guilty about it. They haven't done anything yet, though part of her wants to. But she does not want to do her man at home wrong, so she tells her dinner companion let's keep it friends, and not go any further. She will finish up the meal and leave, and go home to the other man.
