The Good In Everyone Lyrics

First off here's what you do to me
You get rough, attack my self esteem
It's not much, but it's the best I've got
And I thought you saw the good in everyone

Oo, the good in everyone
You see the good in everyone
You see the good in everyone

I close my eyes, I can't give it up
I dose my mind, I can't get enough
I'm in no shape, I gotta turn it off
Just let it play, 'The Good In Everyone'

Oo, the good in everyone
You see the good in everyone
You see the good in everyone
You see the good in everyone
Oo, the good in everyone

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.

Dang, I was hoping someone else would have left some enlightenment about this song by now. =\ I used to think this was a really nice song, about someone that saw the good in everyone (yay! especially since it's Strombo's theme song, and he seems like that kinda guy)- but reading the lyrics, it's kind of... not looking like what I thought it would. The little "And I thought you saw" --> does that kind of say that this person is the opposite? =\

To me it means staying isolated and so totally close minded in a self absorbed, temporary addiction. Staying there long enough destroys you and how you feel about others. SO, you have to " turn it off " . Get back to good. You'll see the good in everyone again. Don't let it get that bad ! ...turn it off
