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.
Go to the woman like a switchblade knife
Baby says we're gonna break the law tonight
Ooh...if your daddy could see you now
Rock'n'Roll rebel on a jailbreak run
This operator but a little high strung
There's one in every crowd
"You got coming to you, it happens every time
that's what you get for a life of crime
You got it coming to you, if you cross the line" (Chorus)
And you can't back up, when the going gets tough
And if you fly that high you'd better get some...
Slow down sister, you're burn, burn, burnin', at the speed of light
Better slow down sister
Put on tile brakes or you won't get through the night
She don't love you, gonna shoot to thrill
I tell you that little girl's kiss could kill
She got me standing on a one way street
Can't break the chains, the ties that bind
Slave to the rhythm and my heart's in time
Beware the taste is bittersweet
Chorus
When the lights go down, and you hit the ground
It'll happen so fast,....
Slow down sister
I said look out now, danger in a little girl's eyes
Slow down sister
Well you're gonna find out there's trouble in paradise
..that ain't nice...
You'll never stop party your b_tterfly ball
dressed in the black, if you think you've done it all
Come on now baby, you know it's true
You want all the money and the price of fame
Ride to glory on another man's name
Now there's a lesson here for you
Chorus
And you can't back up, when the going gets rough
And if you fly that high you'd better get some...
Slow down sister, you're burn, burn, burnin', at the speed of light
slow down sister
no,no..
Put on ....., never gonna fool tonight
I said look out now, there's danger in a little girl's eyes
Slow down sister, slow down ,slow down
Well you're gonna find out there's trouble..trouble in paradise
I said slow
