Sad Lady Lyrics

Never seen such good things go so wrong
And everywhere we turn they're playing our song

I should have known someone so much like me
Would give me hell and send me to my knees

But love you a strange fella

Love you're a strange fella
Won't you leave your mark on me

If we ever make sweet love again
I'm sure that it will be quite disgusting
Race to the end, race to the end

The memory of a ceremony so
Empty bitter boring and hollow
Hollow

But love you're a strange fella

May as well be forever
Love won't you come and punish me

Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win
Sad lady you win, sad lady you win

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.
