Denim Boy Lyrics

Hey kid, look at what you did.
Because you hurt me and you treat me wrong.
You desert me after you string me along.
Then you leave me, but before you're away you'll bend me,
'til Baby, I break.

But little denim boy blue,
I refuse to give up on you this time.

Hey pal, what's all this about?
Because little sweetie boys they ought not to use their women like toys.
I been working and treating you good.
I ain't leaving though I know I should.
I keep trying 'til you hold me right,
hoping that someday you might.

But little denim boy blue,
I refuse to give up on you this time.

I been working, I been treating you good.
I ain't leaving though I know I should.
I keep trying 'til you hold me right,
hoping that someday you might.

But little denim boy blue,
I refuse to give up on you this time.

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 think this song is pretty obvious in it's meaning. It's the classic story of a girl believing she can change her boyfriend into the person she wants him to be. He's a tool at the moment, but she's seen a glimmer of his nice side and she believes that she can bring that out in him and turn him into a better person and she won't give up until she succeeds.
