Elvis Costello - Accidents Will Happen lyrics

Oh i just don't know where to begin Though he says he'll wait forever It's now or never But she keeps him hanging on The silly champion She says she can't go home Without a chaperone Accidents will happen We only hit and run He used to be your victim Now you're not the only one Accidents will happen We only hit and run I don't want to hear it 'cause i know what i've done There's so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury But they keep you hanging on They say you're so young Your mind is made up but your mouth is undone (chorus) And it's the damage that we do And never know It's the words that we don't say That scare me so There's so many people to see So many people you can check up on And add to your collection But they keep you hanging on Until you're well hung Your mouth is made up but your mind is undone (chorus) I know, i know, (repeat)
