Dresses Lyrics

If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress
If you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress
I'll wear shorts and I'll wear pants
I'll even wear pajamas to a dance
If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses

To a wedding, to a funeral
To a prom or to see your mom
Dinner date, don't be late
Just throw on some jeans and go get laid
If they called you a tomboy like me when I was small
Then if you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, I hate dresses

I can sit with my legs apart
I can sit with my legs apart
I can sit with my legs apart
I can run and jump and play in the park

If I don't want to, I don't have to
I don't have to wear a dress
If you don't want to, you don't have to
You don't have to wear a dress

Dresses, dresses, we hate dresses
Dresses, dresses, WE HATE DRESSES

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.
