Sideways Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Smudged red lipstick on you
I'm so satisfied

We spilled that coffee cup
On my couch a thousand times

[Verse 2]
Oh, now I smile at strangers
I'm that annoying type
Who don't care if there's traffic
'Cause I've got plans tonight


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Later we'll meet at your place
Later we'll be together
Ever since you said that you were mine


[Chorus]
Everything's going my way, and I like to get my way
Even when things go sideways, rainin' on my parade
I get all my confidence from you
I get all my confidence from you

[Verse 3]
One more cutе disaster
Said "I love you" twice
Bеfore you could even answer
It's hard here in paradise
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm living to look at your face
Living it up together

Ever since you said that you were mine

[Chorus]
Everything's going my way, and I like to get my way
Even when things go sideways, rainin' on my parade
I get all my confidence from you
I get all my confidence from you

[Outro]
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, da
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da (Ever since you said)
Do-do-do-do, da-da-da-da-da
Do-do-do-do, do-do-do-do, da

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
