(Intro) Never give a good thing up Never ever call it quits And if you find a way that works Leave the thing as it is You've got to learn to take advice 'Cause sometimes you don't know best I've learnt the hard way once or twice That's something I will regret (Verse 1) Don't say you'll always be right here There comes a time when you'll be somewhere else I know this might not help right now But I know every little bit helps You'll find out as you're growing up This life is very hit or miss You should never expect to much And you should never give promises You've got to learn to take advice 'Cause sometimes you don't know best I've learnt the hard way once or twice That's something I will regret (Chorus) Now I've lost what you'd found Maybe I did too little much too late But I'll still hang around (Verse 2) Sometimes you've gotta swallow pride Even though I know it hurts And though you won't see it then You're preventing something that's worse I don't pretend to know the best Or even that I know alot I'm just giving you some advice What little help that I've got You've got to learn to take advice 'Cause sometimes you don't know best I've learnt the hard way once or twice That's something I will regret (Chorus) Now I've lost what you'd found Maybe I did too little much too late But I'll still hang around (Break) Now I've lost what you'd found Maybe I did too little much too late But I'll still hang around (Verse 3) I'm sorry that we messed it up That you thought I was a waste of space I'm sad we didn't work it out I'm sorry the time was a waste But remember when you think back then Without it you'd be someone else What doesn't k** you makes you stronger I'll put that rule to the test You've got to learn to take advice 'Cause sometimes you don't know best I've learnt the hard way once or twice That's something I will regret (Chorus) Now I've lost what you'd found Maybe I did too little much too late But I'll still hang around
