Sweet Things Lyrics

Evil—knockin' at my door
Evil—making me its whore
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

Evil wants you to know
I'm much too young to be owned
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen

I don't mind decay
You are the night that saves my day

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe

I'm evil knocking at your door
I'm evil making you my whore
I don’t mind
If you take what's yours but give me mine

[4x]
Hey where are you going?
I wasn't through
I'm gonna have my way with you

I am like decay
I rot the ground that guides your way, oh

Hey there, little girl
Come inside. I've got some sweet things
Put your hair in curls
Paint you up just like a drag queen

How you like me now?
Did I succeed and make you proud?

Hey there, little girl
Come inside, don't be afraid. I'll keep you safe

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.
