My Own Private Riot Lyrics

Keep me again at arms length
All I hear is your heart, you know baby
It never shuts up
And its all right
This heart is on fire
Just save your own ass go
Leaving me burning

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town

What am I not saying here?
Hear the spaces between that
Measure all
The words I don't know
You are
You're not welcome here
I'm counting your reasons on one hand
Then fitting them in

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town
This is my own private riot

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town
Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town
This is, this is
This is my own private riot
This is, this is

Keep me again at arms length 
All I hear is your heart, you know baby 
It never shuts up 
And its all right 
This heart is on fire 
Just save your own ass go 
Leaving me burning

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down 
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town

What am I not saying here? 
Hear the spaces between that 
Measure all 
The words I don't know 
You are 
You're not welcome here 
I'm counting your reasons on one hand 
Then fitting them in

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down 
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town 
This is my own private riot

Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down 
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town 
Maybe I am the one that you run to when she put the telephone down 
Maybe I am the in between girl and you're sure between girls in this town 
This is, this is 
This is my own private riot
This is, this is

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.
