Something Lyrics

I hate to say it but your life is not right
you sleep all day and watch tv all night
you have your dreams, I know you have your dreams
but it's about time you forgot all your dreams
but I'm something, yeah I'm something
you think you know me but you don't know nothing
I've done it all, yeah I've done it all
I'm just waiting for the right phone call
can't you see? that you and me
we share one or two similarities
I had my dreams, you know I had my dreams
sometimes I regret I forgot all my dreams
but I'm something, yeah I'm something
you think you know me but you don't know nothing
I've done it all, yeah I've done it all
I'm just waiting for the right phone call
and I can't believe it
the things that they say
no I can't believe it
will I ever make it they say no way

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.
