Famous Last Words [#168] Lyrics

Now I'm the girl who said that love was not for me
I like the kind of life I live fancy free
I play the field to love 'em leave 'em where they fall
Can't see love 'em one when I can't love 'em all
But these were the famous last words from the lips of a fool
Famous last words that broke every rule
And now I have no one except myself to blame
When I fell in love I lost at my own game
[ guitar ]
I wanna store up mem'ries for a rainy day
Leave a string of broken hearts along the way
I'll go on cheatin' and lie with every kiss
I'm not the kind of fool to change a life like this
But these were the famous last words...
When I fell in love I lost at my own game

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.
