Henriette Lyrics

Who you fooling now with your bookish smarts?
Quotin’ jamie joyce make me feel
Make me feel like a total arse
Got it down like a practiced art; like a perfect part

Talk to me at night with your voice oily
Think you can’t be broke, what a joke
What a joke callin’ me doily
Think I like when you dress boy-l
Your makeup coyly

I never loved you Henriette
I never liked my sobriquette
I never read your serviette
I never loved you Henriette

When we went our ways, you left your gourd behind
I never cared for rows and I got
And I got sort of bored besides
Of your notes and your peephole eyes
And those spurious sighs

I never loved you Henriette
I never liked my sobriquette
I never read your serviette
I never loved you Henriette

Henriette, sobriquette, serviette
I never loved you Henriette

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.
