Would That Not Be Nice Lyrics

Alot I've wondered,
how do I swing this?
I'm gonna be up for a long while
'Cause I've got to know it, know it tonight.
'Cause if I did,
would that not be nice?
I wish that I was in Minneapolis
Like Barbarita, we lay lights flat
And share a feelin' under the moonlight
And come to think it,
would that not be nice?
There's Cleopatra up on her throne
Come Cleopatra, come come back home
I'll be here waiting with basmati rice

Can you tell me now
Would that not be nice?
You're so destructive, a little deranged
Sometimes I wish that
You were just strange
I must admit it
That sounds alright
And if you were,
would that not be nice?
You got a carpet, a candleabra from California
and if you light it you set the room up
with flickering lights
And if you did,
would that not be nice?
Would that not be nice?

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.

I suppose this is about a time when he stayed up at night trying to figure out how to keep a girl in a relationship with him. He's imagining how things could be, both literally and metaphorically. That's my interpretation.
