Green Lyrics

You opened the door,
I let myself in.
Between you and me,
I only believe
what I want to believe.
I guess it's because I'm
greener than green.
Only because I'm green.
(repeat 2x)

I came up to your floor
you were dressed just a little
obscene.
And it shut me down
quite sexually
like a pre-adolescent
becuase I'm greener than green.

Only because greener then green.
Only because I'm green.

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.

i think this is about being inexperienced and niave when it comes to love and relationships. Isn't "green" army talk for someone who is inexperienced in combat?

It's about losing your virginity or just being uneducated when it comes to relationships, and being with someone far more experienced. Being "green" has always meant being a rookie or something along those lines, be it the army or the Old West (greenhorns). Basically, this song is about a guy who goes to a girl's place, and she wants to sleep with him, but he doesn't know if he's ready. He's greener than green, he doesn't know what to do.
