I'd Rather You Didn't Love Me Lyrics

You told me you'd love me forever
But the one in your arms is not me
So if this is what you refer to as love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
I have waited so long for your love now
But I've made up my mind it can't be
For if I am just one of the many you love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
How can I name the one to blame
I suppose it's the way you believe
But if this is what you refer to as love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me

And if I am just one of the many you love
Then I'd rather you didn't love me
I'd rather you didn't love me

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.
