I'm Not Angry Lyrics

You're upstairs with the boyfriend while I'm left here to listen (angry)
I hear you calling his name, I hear the stutter of ignition (angry)
I could hear you whispering as I crept by your door
So you found some other joker who could please you more

I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)

Ooh, I know what you're doin'
I know where you've been
I know where, but I don't care
'Cause there's-a no such thing as an original sin

I've got this camera click, click, clickin' in my head (angry)
I got you talking with your hands, got you smiling with your legs (angry)
Spent all my time in a vanity factory
Wonderin' when they're gonna come and take it all back

I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)

Ooh, I know what you're doin'
I know where you've been
I know where, but I don't care
'Cause there's-a no such thing as an original sin

Yeah, yeah
Oh, there's no such thing as an original sin
Oh, there's-a no such thing as an original sin (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)

I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)

Ooh, I know what you're doin'
I know where you've been
I know where, but I don't care
'Cause there's-a no such thing as an original sin

I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)
I'm not angry (angry)
I'm not angry anymore (angry)

Ooh, I know what you're doin'
I know where you've been
I know where, but I don't care
'Cause there's-a no such thing as an original sin

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.
