Deuce Lyrics

I am afraid of you now
Now that you left me
Nothing I can say
No not now
Now that you left me

Now that you left me
Now that you left me

Just for how long
Did you know before you left me?
Nothing to do
It's up to you
Use it against me

Use it against me
Now that you left me

You are ahead of me now
Because you left me
Words that I said
All yours now
Use it against me

You have erased me
Now that you left me

I'll be gone
I'll be gone

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.

Cover art for Deuce lyrics by Cardigans, The

This is the sexiest and bitterest "you bastered you dumped me" song that I've ever heard before!!! I love the Cardigans!! They have that ability to make totally submissive music, OR SO IT SEEMS...it's still seems to me that she holds the control in the relationship. He dumped her and even though everything that she's saying is the exact opposite, she's totally over it. "I'll be gone" she's not going to hang around and dwell on it. She's out of here. bye bye.
