You're Gonna Kill That Girl Lyrics

I saw her walking down the street
He jumped down, he knocked her off her feet
And then I knew it was the end of her.
He's gonna kill that girl
He's gonna kill that girl tonight.
When I saw her walking down the street
My heart stood still and skipped a beat
Then he knocked her on the floor
But he wanted just a little bit more.
I saw her lying on the street
He jumped down, he knocked her off her feet
That's when I knew it was the end of her.
Hey.

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.

I think it's not about litterally a grl, maybe like this grl was someone that one of them really liked but was stolen by another guy...

"You're Gonna Kill That Girl" was written by Joey as a horror movie joke on the Beatles' "You're Gonna Lose That Girl." It was probably also inspired by Dee Dee's fights with Connie, his junkie stripper girlfriend.
