I Guess We've Been Together for Too Long Lyrics

You and me must be something to see
A-fussing at each other until dawn
We made a mess out of our happiness
Girl, I guess we've been together for too long

His and hers has turned to yours and mine
So I don't have to tell you something's wrong
We made a fool and talked out of school
Girl, I guess we've been together for too long

Well, I guess we've been together
Through all our stormy weather
And now it's time to sail our ship along
His and hers has turned to yours and mine
Girl, I guess we've been together for too long, for too long

Well, I guess we've been together
Through all our stormy weather
And now it's time to give it up our [Incomprehensible]
His and hers has turned to yours and mine
Girl, I guess we've been together for too long

And I'm sad to say that it turned out that way
Girl, I guess we've been together for too long
Yes, I guess we've been together for too long

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.
