Better Cut That Out Lyrics

A-now-now, when you see a drunk man
It made-a you mad
When you get drunk
You look-a just as bad

You better cut that out
Yeah, you better cut that out
You better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

A-now-now, when you get high
You know now, you'll get worse
When you get drunk
You throw a rock in a hearst

You better cut that out
Yeah, you better cut that out
Ya better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

I see you're on your knees
You know you mistreat a friend
The next thing you know
You'll been wonderin' where you been

You better cut that out
Yeah, you better cut that out
Ya better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

Ya went downtown
Ya say, you didn't go to stay long
The next time I saw ya
You's in another man's home

You better cut that out
Yeah, you better cut that out
Ya better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

Well now, when you get high
You don't know what to do
You say you get high
Because you feelin' blue

An you better cut that out
Yeah, you better cut that out
Well, ya better cut that out, boy
Befo' it be too, late

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.
