Wooooh!
Dont do what I did
Dont do what I have done
Turning the world against ya
All in the name of having fun
Youve got yourself to blame
Youll only feel ashamed
Like I do
Dont do what I did.
Dont do what I did
Dont break a beating heart
Dont try to rend asunder
What no man should tear apart
Youll always feel so bad
Youll only wish you hadnt
Done like I did
Dont do what I have done.
All the love I ever had
Only ever wanted bad
Bad enough to wind up dead
All the moves I mightve made
All the best plans ever laid
Only wound up shot instead.
Dont do what I did
You break your own heart first
If youre miserable now, just wait
It only hurts all the worse
Like a presence that wont leave
It makes it hard to breathe
Dont do what I have done.
This is not a helping hand
Im not one to understand
Im just pointing out the time to you
How much more can one soul take
Whats the measure of mistake
When all you ever make is mine.
Once youre a loser
All you can learn to do is
Dont do what I did
And pick on a love thats true
That was the big mistake
The one that I had to make
Dont do what I did
Dont do what I did
Dont do what I have done.
