I'd Love to Take Orders from You Lyrics

If you're the captain, I'd be the crew
Cause I just love to take orders from you
You blow the bugle and I'll jump through
How I'd love to take orders from you

I know that rules were made for fools
That's one thing I have learned
But I'm going in for discipline
Wherever you're concerned

If you say kiss me, that's what I'll do
Cause I just love to take orders from you

When someone tells me to march or to halt
My soul rebels, I'm at way to a fault
No rules or regulations when I obey
Then I met you and I knew right away

If you're the captain, I'd be the crew
Cause I just love to take orders from you
You blow the bugle and I'll jump through
How I'd love to take orders from you

I know that rules were made for fools
That's one thing I have learned
But I'm going in for discipline
Wherever you're concerned

If you say kiss me, that's what I'll do
Cause I just love to take orders from you

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.
