(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 spac
