Sleeping Dogs Lyrics

Why do we torment each other Why can't we just let sleeping dogs lay Beat each other to the pulp And make up all in one day Guess I'm getting pretty tired Of living life this way But it's a love hate kinda thing I don't know if you know That it's driving me insane I don't know where to go With this love hate kinda thing Why do you say it's black I know it's white Why can't we just call it quits without a fight I don't think you're very smart You don't think I'm very pretty Guess we never though at all And it seems like such a pity I looked at the sky Holding my hands over my eyes 'Till I fell out of bed Hurting my head From things that you said

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.
