Don't Get Sentimental on Me Lyrics

I know you're tired
I'm tired too
Loosen up
Sing me a song
And I'll dance
Cause I don't move too easily
Take me home
Just don't get sentimental on me
Cause the wind, the wind, the wind
Is carrying us down the dumps of Broadway
And it's fine, it's okay
Tomorrow gone today
Take me home
Just don't get sentimental on me
I know you're fine
I followed all the lines
Of the dress your lover bought you
And these drinks turn into maps
Of places we will never go
But for once don't get sentimental on me
Cause the wind, the wind, the wind
Is carrying us down the dumps of Broadway
And it's fine, it's okay
Tomorrow gone today
Take me home
Just don't get sentimental on me

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.

I cannot believe NO ONE has commented on this song?

A fantastic song of love/lust that shouldn't be...

I bow down to you once again, Mr. Ryan Adams.
