An Apology from Dog to Cat Lyrics

I'm sorry, sweet kitten, going through such a bad time
(I'm brushing my teeth now, I'm brushing my teeth now)
I didn't mean to go through, I knew I'm such a bad liar

and like tomorrow
(I'm brushing my teeth now, I'm brushing my teeth now)
I'm sorry, sweet kitten, going through such a sad time

and I've been through
(I'm brushing my teeth now, I'm brushing my teeth now)
I'm going through my mind,
I haven't got a chance to remember

I haven't got a chance to remember
Sorry, sweet kitten, go through such a hard floor
I know, wouldn't want it, it didn't have much more
But when you gonna go and say my name?
back on the tape recorder

I'm brushing my teeth now, I'm brushing my teeth in the afternoon

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.
