Keep On Your Dress Lyrics

What's that supposed to mean you're making no sense?
Drinking all the time but now your just repeating yourself,
What's that supposed to mean I think you might of made a mistake?
Your eyes appear to be closed but I know that you're still awake.

Keep on your dress girl it's okay (That's not the thing you need now),
That's not what I was going to say (I guess I'll take my leave now),
Keep on your dress girl it's okay (That's not the thing you need now),
Cause that's not what I was going to say (I guess I'll take my leave now).

What's that supposed to mean oh hear we go you're going to cry?
That used to work on me but this time it is still goodbye,
What's that supposed to mean you're making no sense?
Drinking all the time but now you're just repeating yourself.

I think it's time that we were going now don't you?
Leave with some dignity please darling won't you?
I think it's time that we were going now don't you?
Leave with some dignity please darling won't you?

Just Keep on your dress girl it's okay (That's not the thing you need now),
That's not what I was going to say (I guess I'll take my leave now),
Keep on your dress girl it's okay (That's not the thing you need now),
Cause that's not what I was going to say (I guess I'll take my leave now).

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.

Cover art for Keep On Your Dress lyrics by Pigeon Detectives, The

This song's okay, it's kind of boring really, I'm not a big fan of the Pigeon's, I think they're too unoriginal really. It's about a guy going out with this girl who's always going out and getting drunk and has no control over herself basically. He wants to end it but he doesn't want to leave her by herself because she can't look after herself properly. She makes him feel guilty so he stays with her but this time it's goodbye for good. He wants her to leave the dress on because if she takes it off, they'll sleep together and it'll be all the more complicated- he won't be able to levae etc.
