Not as a Sweetheart (But Just as a Friend) Lyrics

Please don't hang up on me for I just call to say
That I'm leaving and I won't be back again
And ask you if you'd see me and be with me one more time
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me
But just for the old time sake leave me a memory do this for me
And please would you take my hand and just kiss me once again
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Well thanks darling anyway no you can't break your date
And plans can't wait and broken hearts can't mend
So bye bye be a sweet girl and think of me sometime
Not as a sweetheart but just as a friend
Not as a sweetheart for I know your love is gone for me
But just for the sake of my aching heart
Say something sweet to me for I used to be
Your one and your only love and it hurts to see it end
Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend
Not as a sweetheart but just as your friend

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.
