You tend to lean on your reputation

To get you out of a mess, mmm

You lose your place in some new revelation

Then come to me to confess, no!



Woulda, shoulda, coulda but you never learn

Woulda, shoulda, coulda but you never learn

(Never learn)

To keep me in the center of things, mmm

I'll be there for you just show me some faith in return

You're quick to say you can do it your way

But now look who keeps gettin' burned
