Best Behavior Lyrics

Baby I've been bad
And it makes me sad
Knowing what I should have well been doing all this time

I've been quilty of
Imitation love
Before I'm ever done
Just wanna leave it all behind

And slip into a dream
Where I can find myself
Through every hollow scene
It was all someone else
Then suddenly she's there
And I say my sweet love
Don't need to look away
I'm on my best behaviour now

Television fuzz
Put me out quick 'cause
I know what I should have well been doing all this time
I was out tonight, feeble acolyte
Never really knowing after who or even why

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.
