Oliver Lyrics

You know that I was overblown by all the card sharks
And the muggers that day
And there were several million lovers
of that dress that's in the window display
And every day they'd say
Oliver
Oliver
Oliver
Oliver don't stay

She was quite a woman
Kind and understanding woman she was
Oh yeah
Sure I really loved her
But she acted like a mother to me
And she loved me and I'd scream
Nancy
Nancy
Nancy
Please take care of me

Oliver, Oliver
Oliver, Oliver
Oliver

Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

I was overblown by all the card sharks
And the muggers that day
Several million lovers
of that dress that's in the window display
And every day they'd say

Oliver
Oliver
Oliver
Oliver don't stay

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 really don't know what this song is about, but it is my favorite from them. I now know that I have been singing the absolute wrong lyrics though.
