Lies Lyrics

Lies, dripping off your mouth like dirt Lies, lies in every step you walk Lies, whispered sweetly in my ear Lies, how do I get out of here? Why, why you have to be so cruel? Lies, lies, lies I ain\'t such a fool! Lies, lies in my poppas looks Lies, lies in my history books Lies, lies like they teach in class Lies, lies, lies I catch on way too fast Fire, fire upon your wicked tongue Lies, lies, lies you\'re trying to spoil my fun Lies, lies you dirty jezebel Why, why, why, why don\'t you go to hell? Why, why you think me such a fool? Lies, lies, lies honey that\'s ya rules! Lies, lies, lies, lies, oh my lies, ...

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.

Every now and then you feel like you are 15 and the world just isn't right and you feel like shouting it out.

"Fire upon your wicked tongue"--That line gives me goosebumps for some reason. Maybe the same reason that 10,000 other Jagger lyrics do. It's just great rock-n-roll songwriting.
