Sons 'N' Lovers Lyrics

I was your baby, you were my girl
When I asked you to marry me, the tears fell

Sons N' lovers, sons n' lovers, waving
My childhood goodbye-it seems so sad
Well how long have you been my best friend
This won't be the end of
Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, she won't wanna talk anymore about it

You were my lady- I was your number one
When I said I was leaving- tears run

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist, I know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers, I don't wanna lie anymore

Was that you I saw, walkin' out along the shore
Was that you I saw, talkin' to him
Was that you I saw, puttin' his hands in yours
Thats alright ma, you can still love him
Thats alright ma, you can still love
And through the years, you know- we will remember
Time will never take old times away
How long for you to discover that, there still some strings attached to
Sons n' lovers, sons and lovers
But I don't wanna play anymore
Sons n' lovers

Once Bitten Twice Shy

I was your baby, you were my girl
When I asked you to marry me, the tears fell

You were my lady- I was your number one
When I said I was leaving- tears run

Sons n' lovers-sons n' lovers, breakin'
Tryin' not to hurt each others hearts
Well how long can we exist, I know
We can't go on like this
Sons n' lovers-son's and lovers, I don't wanna lie anymore

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.
