Mr. Nice Watch Lyrics

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 [?]

Genius Answer

I did this in the last minute – like, the last week of recording. That’s how I work. I’ll be working on a project, like a mixtape or something, and as we get to the end, I’ll look at what I have and what’s missing.
