Literally Lyrics

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally

But you can take, take 'em down

You can take 'em down

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally

But you can take, take 'em down

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally

But you can take, take 'em down

You can take 'em down

You think that you were strong enough
but that was wrong enough
I know
To think that you were strong enough
It just was wrong for us
That I know

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally
But you can take, take 'em down

You can take 'em down

You think you were strong enough
but that was wrong enough
I know
To think that you were strong enough
It just was wrong for us
Yeah, I know

And if the defense is
up,
you can turn it down
right now
And if the defense is up,
turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!
And if the defense is up,
turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!
Defense is up,
you can turn it down
right now!
Right now, right now, right now!

I'm gonna take you down a little alley
I'm serious but there is generally
No need take the words so literally

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.
