The Apartment Song Lyrics

I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times were hard, I don't want to knock it
I don't miss it much at all

Oh yeah I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
But I came to live with it
Lately I get the funniest feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh yeah I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely but then
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
But I came to live with it
Lately I get the funniest feeling
And the whole thing starts again

Oh yeah I'm alright
I just feel a little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

And the whole thing starts again
I just feel a little lonely but then
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

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.
