I Can't Let It Happen to You Lyrics

I can see you standing there outside
Where you going girl? You have no place to hide

You worry me
'Cause I can see you've lost your pride

And I can't let it happen to you
I can't let it happen to you

Now he's gone, but with him went your dreams
But hang on girl, it's not as bad as it might seem

You've lost your heart
Drifting apart from love you seek

And I can't let it happen to you
I can't let it happen to you

You've lost your heart
Drifting apart from love you seek

And I can't let it happen to you
I can't let it happen to you

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.

Boy meets girl, girl is broken-hearted and on the road to ruin, boy can't bear to see her like that. Really nice song, quite possibly John Walker's best.
