Have you ever discovered that you’ve been singing one of your favorite songs incorrectly all along? Instead of being embarrassed in front of your friends, these sites can help you find the real lyrics.
Google: Quick Results for Popular Songs
Sometimes, all you want are the lyrics of the song, fast. In that case, your best is to search Google— type in the song’s name and add “lyrics” at the end.
If it’s a popular song, Google will likely display the lyrics of the song inside the search results, and you won’t even have to go to another website. It may be a hit or miss for some older or less popular songs.
Genius.com: For the Broadest Selection of Songs
Genius.com is a crowdsourced lyrics website and a musical publication. It covers new music releases and music-related news in addition to hosting lyrics, claiming to have the biggest collection of music lyrics and music knowledge.
After searching, you can click on any song to reach the lyrics page, which will contain the lyrics, a song preview (from Apple Music), and additional information about the album and artist. Popular songs will also have lyrics translated into a few different languages—also contributed by the community.
Lyrics.com: Lets You Search by the Lyrics Themselves
