I've Got a Quarter in My Pocket Lyrics

I've got a quarter in my pocketWon't you tell me what I should do
Should I put it in the phoneSo I can come crawling home to you
Or should I put it in the jukeboxAnd play another heartbreak song
I'm leaning towards the latterAnd I really hate being alone
Gonna flip it in the airGonna watch it flyIf it's heads I might love again
If it's tails I'll cryI've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should doShould I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to youOr should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak songI'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being aloneHere I am againOn the same ol' stool
With the same ol' questionAnd the mind of a foolI've got a quarter in my pocket
Won't you tell me what I should doShould I put it in the phone
So I can come crawling home to youOr should I put it in the jukebox
And play another heartbreak songI'm leaning towards the latter
And I really hate being aloneWell I've got a quarter in my pocket
And I really hate being alone

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.
