I Am Such a Drag Lyrics

Ten years ago I was made a man
Ten years before I played a lamb
And then I kicked a horse right in the can

Ten days ago I read a book
"Ten Ways to Know Your Girl's a Crook"
When your heart isn't all she took
Your heart isn't all she took

Ten minutes ago I packed bag
With the money from my pockets that made my pants sag
But I'm not leaving for the old main drag

I'm not leaving, I am such a drag
I'm not leaving, I am such a drag
I'm not leaving, come and take my bag
I'm not leaving, here's my white flag

Ten lines ago the story went
Ten lines in a church pageant
Then my eyes were caught by a coronet
I want your coat of arms around my neck

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.
