Written by Peter Holsapple
Main Voice: PETER

Wooooh!
Don t do what I did
Don t do what I have done
Turning the world against ya
All in the name of having fun
You ve got yourself to blame
You ll only feel ashamed
Like I do
Don t do what I did.
Don t do what I did
Don t break a beating heart
Don t try to rend asunder
What no man should tear apart
You ll always feel so bad
You ll only wish you hadn t
Done like I did
Don t do what I have done.
All the love I ever had
Only ever wanted bad
Bad enough to wind up dead
All the moves I might ve made
All the best plans ever laid
Only wound up shot instead.
Don t do what I did
You break your own heart first
If you re miserable now, just wait
It only hurts all the worse
Like a presence that won t leave
It makes it hard to breathe
Don t do what I have done.
This is not a helping hand
I m not one to understand
I m just pointing out the time to you
How much more can one soul take
What s the measure of mistake
When all you ever make is mine.
Once you re a loser
All you can learn to do is
Don t do what I did
And pick on a love that s true
That was the big mistake
The one that I had to make
Don t do what I did
Don t do what I did
Don t do what I have done.
