In the Dark Lyrics

In the dark
It's just you and I
Not a song, there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
Lord, in the dark

Now in the dark, in the dark
I get such a thrill when he presses his fingertips upon my lips
And begs me to please, please keep still
Lord, in the dark

But soon, this dance will be ending
And you're gonna be missed
Gee I'm not pretendin',
'Cause I swear it's fun, fun to be kissed in the dark, wooo ahhhh

But soon, this dance will be ending
And you're gonna be missed, mm, mm, mmm
Gee baby, I ain't pretendin',
'Cause I swear, I swear, I swear it's fun to be kissed in the dark

Now we may find what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance, we gonna find romance
Just let them dance, we gonna find sweet romance, baby
Just let them dance, we gonna find romance
Lord, in the dark, oh yeah, whoa wooee

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.
