i am sure that the answer to this question lies somewhere in these posts, but i havent found it yet...so here goes.
i have some lyrics that i would like to post for feedback, but none of them have a copyright. i would like to get the feedback and tweek my lyrics if needed before i have them copyrighted. is there a way to do this and still protect my work?

Lots of info on that here.
But to sum it up
Everything I have read states that a lyric is copyrighted the moment you set it in a permanent form
On paper, a recording, etc. Even if you write it on a matchbook cover.
When you post a lyric here it is recorded in print on the post. That theoretically gives you copyright.
It is a good idea to put the copyright information at the top of the lyric
Such as
©2007 your name
you can get the little circle in microsoft word by holding down Ctrl plus Alt (bottom left on keyboard) and typing "C"
I don't know about other programs.
