Butterflies Lyrics

[Intro]
You just want money
Money, money, money, money, money, money
Money, get out of here, bro
Money, that's all you want, you don't care about human beings
All you want is money

[Verse 1]
When the money comes and the money goes
Only thing that's left, uh, is the love we hold
Mix of pain and pleasure, never black and white (Never black and white)
'Cause the sun keeps shining, uh, when I close my eyes

[Pre-Chorus]
Butterflies won't go away (Oh, no, no, no, oh, yeah, yeah)
These butterflies won't seem to go away (Go away)

[Chorus]
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (Ooh, uh)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (Moving then, I'm slippin' away)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (Girl, now I'm slippin' away)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and moving

[Verse 2]
And this wounded heart can't live without you (Live without you)
And this perfect harmony, and that's what we are (Don't go so far along)

[Pre-Chorus]
Butterflies won't go away (Oh, no, no, these butterflies)
These butterflies won't seem to go away (Oh, no, no, these butterflies)
Won't seem to go away

[Chorus]
We'll just keep moving, and moving (Moving), and moving (Moving), and moving, and slippin' away (You know I'm slippin', ooh)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (Moving then, I'm slippin' away)
(I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip, ooh)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip, ooh)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip away)
We'll just keep moving, and moving, and moving, and moving, and slippin' away (I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip away, I'm 'bout to slip away)

[Outro]
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away, slippin' away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away, slippin' away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)
Butterflies (I'm 'bout to slip away)

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.
