Marc Copely - Won't Let It Happen Twice Lyrics

Under a bridge I met her
Thinking I was clever
I raised my book and prophesized
Like a convict pleading

The message was misleading
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice
Tell me have heard the joke?
Did you read the barroom quotes?

It's all expensive merchandise
Like counterfeit currency
Looks can be deceiving
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice

It's a waste of time thinkin' about it
Just thinking about it
You should let it like right where you found it
They keep you surrounded

Keep you surrounded
Poets and politicians
Everything's a strange ambition
I'm writing letters wit no rhyme

I should have learned from you
But I had so much to prove
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice
It's a waste of time thinkin' about it

Just thinking about it
You should let it like right where you found it
They keep you surrounded
Keep you surrounded

Under a bridge I met her
Gathering stones together
With no war to justify
I guess I didn't understand

It was all sleight of hand
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice
I took your advice, I won't let it happen twice
