Black Dog Lyrics

Oh mother - the black dog’s back again
and I can’t feel my hands through his pain

Oh father - he’s barking up my tree again
and I can’t look at what is happening

I know you said, I know you said
Please come home
But mama, try as I might
I’m a lady in white with broken bones

Oh I need time to finish this alone
But I can’t stay the girl you used to know

So force-feed me your medicine and go
‘Cause this won’t be the happiness you used to know
You used to know

I know you said, I know you said
Please come home
But mama, try as I might
I’m a lady in white with broken bones

I don’t want to lose everything,
I don’t want to lose everything,
I don’t want to lose everything,
Everything we built together

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.
