i've got a million things going around in my head

and i never really paid attention to what you said no

and now i wish that i would have said goodbye,

but its much too late, and all i do is give and all you do is take



chorus

you've gotta look before you leap

and take a good look at your so-called friends

yeah, thats the company you keep

you've got words coming at you from all directions

you gotta look before you leap

and take a good look at your so-called friends

yeah, thats the company you keep - they got the words, oh yeah



there's a lot of things that were never said

and if we'd grown up faster then i would have stood up

but-i should have cut you loose a long time ago,

but its much too late

and all i do is give and all you do is take



chorus



well, there never was a time when you didn't try to lord me over,

never was there a time when i felt bad for you

whenever you had the chance, the way i see it

you tried to screw me over

never was there a time when i wasn't there for you



chorus



they keep flying their flags

but they're never gonna understand
