Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before Lyrics

Can I buy you a drink you look lonely well so I might and it might help us both
I can tell by that lost look in your eyes just like me you lost the one you loved most
Well mine walked out into the arms of another sayin' I just don't love you no more
And I've just got to tell someone my story but stop me if you've heard this one before
For I wouldn't think of wasting your time I've wasted too much of my own
And it's not just a difference of --- line and I'll leave if you'd rather be alone
Cause that's how you were when I walked in well so am I just like you maybe more
And with each word I speak I die a little
So please stop me if you've heard this one before
[ steel ]
And with each word I speak...

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.
