Benjamin Twine Lyrics

Let me tell you about my best friend
Well he's got hair down to his knees
He gets along fine
Doing just how he please

And I believe that we first met
Around three years ago
Well it feels like a lifetime
Funny how fast it goes

And I remember how this one time
Well I stole his sister's car
And he didn't even mind
No, he jumped in for the ride

We'd got miles away from anywhere
When the panic soon kicked in
We'd got it back safe and sound
No one asked us where we'd been

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Let me tell you why his sister
Why she didn't second guess
She was going out of line
Putting on her favorite dress

And oh by God she knows she's worth it
Any boy would tell you so
Well a girl like that
Is worth her own weight in gold

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Now I made a promise to myself once
That I would wake up by her side
My best friend said that that
Would be the day I died

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

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.
