(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 sp
