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.
Then why does it mention "love" more than once in the lyrics. If it were just about oral sex, wouldn't it omit any mention of love? IDK, but I hope so. I hope the song is a little deeper than what you believe.

You know, it's music like this that makes me never want to touch my guitar again - because music like this cannot be topped in beauty. It just can't. GG everyone.
Love the Clarinet sounding melody in the background, combined with the subtle bongo riff throughout, it has a very snakecharmer-like quality. Just awesome how they MBV'ified it with the washed out guitar noise over the top of everything. This is the sound of Love.

first impression: oral sex.

You can absolutely enjoy oral sex as an act of Love. I think that is the not-so-hidden theme...a joyous description of a freely given gift.

This song is sexy... Think it's about giving head... Regardless it's my favorite MBV song along with To Here Knows When.

Definitely a song about Kevin Shields giving oral sex to Bilinda. hahaha
I had the exact same thought when listening to Loveless.
Sorry but I can't understand the meanings of MBV's lyrics. It's just sounds, not lyrics : " Sweetheart, I want to know, ...". It's bullshit.
