Fountain Of Youth Lyrics

In the mirror's care now -- comb your silken hair now
You wanna stay young, you wanna stay young
Buy you pretty lace, yeah -- and makeup for your face, yeah
You wanna stay young, you wanna stay young

I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth

In her social grace now -- gaining so much praise now
You wanna stay young [you wanna stay young]
Pills and beauty creams, yeah -- protect a little girl's dreams, yeah
You wanna stay young [you wanna stay young]

I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth

[I hope you know that all of these girls are a lot like you
Cry indigo tears and fall on your knees to the fountain of youth]

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.
