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 can't believe no one's posted on this yet! I love this song, it's so erotic, kind of obvious meaning, right? Guy meets girl, guy pleasures girl, etc. Yay. Whaddya thinK?
I have to question whether this is meant to be taken as it is. At face value, this song is erotic (and we all know Perry would be the one to write this kind of song). Because of the particular way this story is told, I think it could be about a girl who's never been in a functional relationship, so she goes out and looks for one and finds another guy who only wants sex.
most ridiculous and unsubtle lyrics i've ever heard. perry farrell essentially stroking his ego and just singing about how amazing in bed he thinks he is.
