Pretty Beat Up Lyrics

Pretty beat up
Pretty beat up

Since you put me down
Yeah, since you left me lying round
Since you eighty-sixed me
Never re-stitched me
My face is a mess

Pretty beat up
Yeah you ought to see my face
Yeah its a mess
You oughta see inside in my heart

I'm marked for life
I'm marked for life
Pretty beat up
Pretty beat up
Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up
Pretty beat up

Pretty beat up
Pretty beat up

Yeah, i'm just like a battered baby
Just left on the street
You ought to see the state
I've been cut with a razor
Don't you cut me up, don't you cut me up
I'm pretty beat up

Pretty beat up...

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.

typical stones if you look at the big picture.

just words.....but the guitars/the jam carry the song.

I mean come on, we all love Mick and all, but how many Great Lyrics did he write after 1973?
