I'll Never Do Better Than You Lyrics

No matter where in this big world I roam
With all of its wonders to see
There'll always be one I can never forget
Precious and special to me

[Chorus:]
I'll never do better than you
You were the light of my life
Some other girl might be faithful and true
But I'll never do better than you

Well, I know you don't care if I live or I die
You live in a mansion so fine
Someday sweetheart if you ever get blue
Remember this letter of mine

[Chorus]

There's fish in the ocean and birds in the trees
They've all got a partner for life
But I will be lonely as long as I live
I wanted you for my wife

[Chorus]

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.
