Doesn't Have to Be This Way Lyrics

Some people say that I am lazy
Others say that I am crazy
I got thrown out of my school
Cos I couldn't stick to all their rules
I guess they didn't understand
Exactly what it takes to be a man

Doesn't Have To Be This Way...

And so I'm running round in circles
And I'm getting nowhere fast
Every time I turn the corner
Think I've found myself a little peace at last
Something else comes around
Knock me straight back to the ground

Doesn't Have To Be This Way...

Everything's a competition
New house, new couch, new car, new kitchen
You gotta act a certain way
Just to get through every day
But that doesn't matter anymore
I'm packing up my bags and walking out of the door

Doesn't Have To Be This Way...

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.
