Wooooh!

Don't do what I did

Don't do what I have done

Turning the world against ya

All in the name of having fun

You've got yourself to blame

You'll only feel ashamed

Like I do

Don't do what I did.

Don't do what I did

Don't break a beating heart

Don't try to rend asunder

What no man should tear apart

You'll always feel so bad

You'll only wish you hadn't

Done like I did

Don't 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 might've made

All the best plans ever laid

Only wound up shot instead.

Don't do what I did

You break your own heart first

If you're miserable now, just wait

It only hurts all the worse

Like a presence that won't leave

It makes it hard to breathe

Don't do what I have done.

This is not a helping hand

I'm not one to understand

I'm just pointing out the time to you

How much more can one soul take

What's the measure of mistake

When all you ever make is mine.

Once you're a loser

All you can learn to do is

Don't do what I did

And pick on a love that's true

That was the big mistake

The one that I had to make

Don't do what I did

Don't do what I did

Don't do what I have done.
