The Main Pretender Lyrics

[Verse]
You got your money (yeah-eah)
You got your home
You keep on saying that you feel so all alone
You got your body (yeah-eah)
You got your tears
You keep on saying that I owe you all my years

[Pre-Chorus]
Your life as the actor
Surrender (yeah-eah)
You lie in the mirror
Surrender (yeah-eah)

[Chorus]
You're no one's baby
You're no one's lover
You're no one's brother
You're the main pretender

[Mikail Cronin sax breakdown]

[Pre-Chorus]
Your life as the actor
Surrender (yeah-eah)
You lie in the mirror
Surrender (yeah-eah)

[Chorus]
You're no one's baby
You're no one's lover
You're no one's mother
You're the main pretender

[Outro]
The main pretender
The main pretender
The main pretender
The main pretender

[Guitar breakdown]

Aaahhhhhhhhh

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.
