Seemed Like the Thing to Do Lyrics

Won't you come ?
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come ?
Cause I've been waitin'
See if it's true
Won't you come ?
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come ?
Cause I've been waitin'
See if it's true
See if it's true
See if it's true
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
See if it's true
See if it's true
See if it's true
Now I've lost the thing
That I had to say
I know you're no good that way
You send me, you wanted this, too
Take your heart
I think I get it now
Well I just can't prolong
Somehow I'll really do
See if it's true
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
Won't you come
Cause I've been waitin'
See if it's true
See if it's true
Time was we'd drop out everything
And there was a peace you'd bring
But you didn't wanna go
Talked about the hell we'd both been through
Seemed like the thing to do
Like something I needed to know
See if it's true
See if it's true

Won't you come ? 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come ? 
Cause I've been waitin' 
See if it's true 
Won't you come ? 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come ? 
Cause I've been waitin' 
See if it's true 
See if it's true 
See if it's true 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
See if it's true 
See if it's true 
See if it's true 
Now I've lost the thing 
That I had to say 
I know you're no good that way 
You send me, you wanted this, too 
Take your heart 
I think I get it now 
Well I just can't prolong 
Somehow I'll really do 
See if it's true 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
Won't you come 
Cause I've been waitin' 
See if it's true 
See if it's true 
Time was we'd drop out everything 
And there was a peace you'd bring 
But you didn't wanna go 
Talked about the hell we'd both been through 
Seemed like the thing to do 
Like something I needed to know 
See if it's true 
See if it's true

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.
