Dress to Please Lyrics

I'll cut my heart out and leave it here on the stage
And you can come pick it up after the show
And when you find out what you really want you let me know
And we can hang out with some more so-called friends
And we can meet at the house after the show
And you will smile and lie to my face, I'll never know
To fall in love you get fucked, you give in until you both give up
So give in to your next sweet young love
To fall in love you get to fuck, so who's the whore?
Can't count the lies
You get to fuck, so who's the whore?
You twist my words to fit the end
So what's a friend?
The truth remains to get your end
So what's a friend? So what's a friend?

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 wish I could sing this in concert, this song just has so much energy, so much feeling, so much fucking angst. It rocks. One of my favourite CV songs.

I love this song, his voice sounds really different in it. In certain parts it doesnt sound like him at all. Lyrics are awesome as well
