I Think I'll Just Stay Here And Drink Lyrics

I could be holding you tonight
I could quit doing wrong and start doing right
You don't care about what I think
I think I’ll just stay here and drink.

You’re hurting me now, don't square the deal
At least you'll know the way I feel
I’ll take all the money in the bank
I think I’ll just stay here and drink.

Listen close and you will hear
That old juke box playing in my ear
Ain't no woman gonna change the way I think
I think I’ll just stay here and drink.

Hurting you now won't mean a thing
Since love ain't here it don't feel the pain
My mind ain't nothing but a total blank
I think I’ll just stay here and drink!
I think I’ll just stay here and drink!
I think I’ll just stay here and drink!
I think I’ll just stay here and drink!
I think I’ll just stay here and drink.

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.
