Behavior Lyrics

You're like an angel with the sweetest smile.
But when you use it you're one elvil child.
Oh, that's what brings me back again.

We get along but only half the time.
The other half you ain't no friend of mine.
Oh, that's what brings me back again.

I love you on your best behavior.
I love you more when you are doing something wrong.
But that's what's wrong with me.

You said you waited yesterday.
And now you're telling me I can't stay.
It's all your crazy messed up ways
That bring me back,
That bring me back,
You bring me back.

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.

This song is about a girl who really likes this guy and nothing he does is right but that is what she likes about him. But at the same time, she didn't want to like him but now she has given in and everytime she is with him she is reminded why she loves him so much.

I agree with Mal. It's about a girl who cares about a guy but she knows he messes up alot but for some reason she keeps going back to him. When he's doing bad she'll go to him and the same when he's doing good. When he smiles it's angelic but other times it draws her in and it's his 'evilness'

Its about a boy whos self-hating insecure smile gets him out of trouble. Cause she still cares about him dispite all hes put her threw. They only get along if she had no needs/thoughts/opions/emotions of her own, And if she behaves under his control. He manipulates her into thinking he dosn't care to gain full control but in a way he still needs her to reflect his self worth, and feed him posstive attention.
