Ladylike Lyrics

So she lays down it’ll be with me
She’ll lay down with me
And she walks out
It’ll be on me
She'll walk out on me
And she’s kneeling
It’ll be for me
She’s kneeling for me

And if I need ya to be secure its ‘cuz I’m not so ladylike at all

She’s focused
It’ll be on me
She’s focused on me
And she walks with
It’ll be with me
She’s walking with me

And if I need ya to be secure its ‘cuz I’m not so ladylike at all

She’s wishin’
It’ll be on me
She’s wishin’ on me
And she’s hopeless
It’ll be, oh she’s hopeless with me

And if I need ya to be secure its ‘cuz I’m not your ladylike
Need you to be secure if I’m not your ladylike and more

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.

WOW! Nobody has commented on this song? That's rather unfortunate given its high calibre. It's a fantastic song. At first I thought it was about women having ot be obediant but now thatI look at the lyrics, I'm not really sure. If anyone DOES decide to comment on this song, perhaps they could help me out by shedding some light on the subject.

Well those lyrics aren't right, they're a tad off. It's "And for me just, to be secure, it's 'cause I'm not, you're Ladylike and More." This song is about being in a possesive relationship. Ian Thornley himself even says so in a video. it's about "Owning someone, and they own you, very true to the old Blues Form... But it's not exactly a pretty thing... But I like it, I like that shit." heres the video link, the Ladylike part is 5 minutes in, but watch all 3 Videos, if you're a Big Wreck fan, it's worth it
