Roberta Lyrics

ROBERTA
WITH JOOLS HOLLAND
WRITERS HUEY PIANO SMITH, JOHN VINCENT

I ain't mad at you Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you So don't you be mad at me
One and one is two Two and one is three
I wanna find my baby going away downtown
I wanna find my baby going away downtown
If I can't find Roberta,
Going to jump overboard and drown
Oh, I said I ain't mad at you Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you, child
Don't you be mad at me
One and one is two,
Two and one is three
Come on babyâ?¦
Going to pawn my whistle,
Pawn my watch and chain
Going to pawn my whistle
Pawn my watch and chain
If I can't find Roberta
I'll hand over all my pay
Oh, I said, I ain't mad at you
Don't you be mad at me
I ain't mad at you
Don't you be mad at me
One and one is two
Two and one is three

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.
