(D. Barrett, J Gittleman)
you thought the idea was good
to hang around in my neighborhood
thought it was a good idea
you even thought it might advance your career
thought that time was on your side
and you can go along for the ride
thought you wouldn`t go too far
your thoughts have got you where you are
(chorus)
I never had a crystal ball, never promised you at all
I never promised you a thing, I never knew what things would bring
It can`t hurt, It can`t hurt, not gonna hurt you at all
It hasn`t helped, it hasn`t helped, not gonna help you at all
you believe that being where you`ve been
and a way that you could walk right in
and you wre sure that going where you`ve gone
was a way that you could get up on
you had to do what you had to do
and you bit off more than you could chew
open you`re eyes and look at where you`re at
shut your mouth and swallow that
(chorus)
