Definitely Clean Lyrics

I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'd ask you what you want, but I don't think you'd know what I mean

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, why are you worried about me?
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

I got a phone call from your mother and she wants to know where you've been
I got a phone call from your mother and she wants to know where you've been
I say this--um, well,..I don't know where she's been

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, why are you worried about me?
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, don't you worry about me
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean, yeah
I'd ask you what you want, but I don't think you'd know what I mean

Right on, whoo!

Tell Me When It's Over

I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'd ask you what you want, but I don't think you'd know what I mean

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, why are you worried about me?
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

I got a phone call from your mother and she wants to know where you've been
I got a phone call from your mother and she wants to know where you've been
I say this--um, well,..I don't know where she's been

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, why are you worried about me?
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

Something happens and they call you on the telephone
Something's missing and you know they won't leave you alone
I'm not worried about you, don't you worry about me
I'm not worried about you, why should I be?

I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean
I'm just standin' here waiting for you to come clean, yeah
I'd ask you what you want, but I don't think you'd know what I mean

Right on, whoo!

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.
