Not Right Lyrics

She
Not right
I want somethin'
I want somethin'
Tonight
I want somethin'
I want somethin'
All right
But she
Can't help
'Cause she's not right

No no no no

It's always...
It's always this way

I
Not right
She wants somethin'
She wants somethin'
Tonight
She wants somethin'
She wants somethin'
All right
But I
Can't help
'Cause I'm not right

No

And it's always
And it's always this way
And it's...
Always...

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.

A song about not getting laid. I guess everyone is able to relate to that. Being frustrated concerning contact with the opposite sex (or the same sex, for that matter...)

Heroin. When she's "not right" she's jonesing for heroin and doesn't want to have sex. "Get right" is old druggie slang for getting high.
