This Seat's Been Taken Lyrics

What is the meaning
Of the morning rain?
I got a feeling
It's no good
I waited for my baby
But she never made the train
Now I'm hoping
At the next stop she will be there
She'll catch my eye
And satisfy my every care
This seat's been taken
Don't ask me where she's coming from
You're quite mistaken
You know she's gonna be here
I know she's gonna come
She must have a reason
I will understand
I know she'll turn up
By and by
I'll see her standing
With a suitcase in her hand
And she'll tell me
How she couldn't find a pay 'phone
She'll start to cry
I'll realize I'm not alone

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.
