Not A Dime Lyrics

I think that it’s time for you to think of someone else because all it seems you do is think about yourself. Everyone around you could use your help. Would you catch me if I fell? Someone’s crying in the corner. They’ve been crying all night. You could offer them your shoulder, but no, you’re alright I think that it’s time for you think of someone else because all it seems you do is think about yourself. Love is something that you can’t ever buy. Do you know what we’re here for? Old man in the corner says "hey can I have a dime?" You have to decline so you can get home on time. Do you know what we’re here for? It makes no difference to you.

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.
