Sugar Girl Lyrics

Oh I wish I could find it funny
You laughing like that
But instead I change into a rage
And run around
Without a face...
I wish I could find it funny
When you never came back
But I don't suppose I'll ever know
The how to keep you
Goodbye sugar girl

Goodbye sugar girl

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.

i love this song it's great. i think it's a relationship that's actually pointless, but he loves her anyway, and she keeps going away.

Simon is right, this song is about a relationship that could never work... but he loves her anyway. To be rather american and kitschy... it reminds me of the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... falling in love with a wild person who is your complete opposite is a recurring theme in The Cure discography... see Birdmad Girl, Plainsong, Same Deep Water As You.. the impossibility of it but the unwillingness to leave because of... well, the obvious...

"I wish I could find it funny when you laugh like that"

This is a beautiful song, very sad.
