That's How Things Go Down Lyrics

Here I am
Carrying the child of our sweet love
And you're far away
That's how things go down
But I want to see you again

Though I've known
Others in life who've made it on their own
I'm afraid
That's how things go down
But I want to see you again

Hey, with each day that passes by
I pray that I will see you soon
And you will be here with me
To see the child being born

Safe and sound
All I can do is wait and hope that you'll
Be around
That's how things go down
I want to see you again

In the end
All I can do is wait and hope that you'll
Be around
That's how things go down
I want to see you again
That's how things go down
I want to see you again
That's how things go down

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.
