That's What He Said Lyrics

Question for all you
who should know
much better
but don't.

With your brains and your instincts around you
why do you
still blow it?

Big fish eat the little fish
No fish left to eat
Big man beats the little man
'til the little man starts to beat
and the little man starts to beat

I have been hurt
I will hurt others
that's what he said

I have been hurt
I will hurt others
that's what he said

Question for all you
who don't know
much better
but should

Maybe the time's come
to use what you got
for some good

I have been hurt
I will hurt others
That's what he said
That's what he said

I have been hurt
Love is for others
That's what he said
That's what he 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.

the message of the song is, Don't use anything as an excuse to hurt people. It doesn't matter what has happened to you, it still does not give you the right to hurt other people.
