Don't Start Me Talkin' Lyrics

Goin' down to Rosie's
Stop at Fanny May's
Gonna tell Fanny what I heard her boyfriend say
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go
Jack gave his wife two dollar
Go down to the market
Get out on the street, ol' George stopped her
He knocked her down
And blacked her eye
She get back home and tell her husband a lie
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go
She borrowed some money
To go to the beauty shop
"I'm goin' to a place where I can get my hair sot"
Now don't you start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifyin'
'Cause somebody gotta go

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.
