Is That Too Much to Ask? Lyrics

Wish me luck
Give me somethin'
Help me out
And I'll go there...
All I want is a brand new truck
One eyed Jacks & beginner's luck
The doctor's script for the perfect drug
Get it all while I can
But I got no money & I got no man
I drive around in a beat up van
I ride on coffee & Percodan
Get it all while I can
Is that too much to ask
Is that too much to ask
So people tell me to clean up my mess
Like I was sweet sixteen in a dirty dress
But I'm wiser now so I must confess
That I get it all while I can
Is that too much to ask
Is that too much to ask
Just make it real & make it last
Someday maybe I'll understand
this crazy old life is in my hands
Someday maybe I'll figure it out
Somebody help me
Anybody tell me
Wish me luck
Give me somethin'
Help me out
And I'll go there
Wish me luck
Give me somethin'
Just make it real & make it last

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.

...oh, I feel that! I was listening to this album on the bus a few days ago and as soon as those lines came, I was like, "Yeah, I know the feeling." I'm 21 and some days I am in that dirty dress while others I'm 32 and oh-so responsible...
