lyrics

For once in your life
Take care of yourself
Don’t let somebody else rule your health.
That’s your greatest wealth.
And now that you’re grown
It’s time that you’ve known
All the simple things in life are on loan.
I guess you’ll find that out on your own.

I know it’s just not the same
If you don’t learn from your own mistakes.
But sometimes that’s all that it takes.
Just don’t make it twice.
That’s my advice.

Don’t work ‘til exhaust.
Don’t wait for the frost.
Won’t do much but add to the time that you’ve lost.
That’s the gravest cost.
I know that it’s hard
But learn the guitar.
And don’t take advice from a song you hear in a bar
Cause it’s bound to leave a scar.
I know it’s just not the same
If you don’t learn from your own mistakes.
But sometimes that’s all that it takes.

Just one little vice
That’s my advice.
Now I’ve said it twice.
And that should suffice.
