Portrait of a Reputation Lyrics

a woman's intuition a man and
his hasty hands
sins of ommission
ooo
shes had enough of falling in love
the clever ones never make her cum
oh christ what have i done
a little misdirection
suggestions you wondered aloud
you raise some eyebrows
oooo
but pussy cat who loves last
is ever too clever by half
ooo
you held him like a weapon
you fell in with the delicate kids
stiff competition
ooo
emblazoned with the blood of the young
a spy in the house of love
oh christ what have i become
you toyed with his affections
pretended it was all in his head
well heaven help him
so what's one last regrettable end
the death of some so-called friend

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.
