Mr. Television Lyrics

Hey there Mr. Television man
Make me believe I'm better than I am
I know you know I'm all alone and feeling lonely

[chorus:]
I want to believe, I want to believe in something

You make my life exciting once again
No one could make me feel like you can
I wish you heard what I said, or what I'm saying

Couildn't ask more from a friend
You are the greatest television man
Late at night when I can't sleep
You keep me dreaming

[Repeat chorus]
In something! In something!

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.

The singer wants some escape from the dull, boring life that he has, and television is it. He knows deep down inside television isn't real, but it's the only joy in his life.
