Lyrics
Good Advice
© 2003 Chris Howard
It?s good advice but hard to take
I should have learned from my mistakes
With the best intentions in the world
How did I ever lose that girl?
She was sharp, man, she was hip
She could see through all of it
Said ?you know, we weren?t that close?
Could have been I suppose
CH: Lately, you don?t take me seriously
But maybe, baby, I could
If that?s a problem for you (X3)
I could
I looked for any excuse
To put my arms around you
But you never told me to
So I couldn?t hold on to you
My big shit eating grin
Doesn?t really mean anything
But it tells you all you need to know
Why did I ever let you go?
She says...
CH: Lately, you don?t take me seriously
But maybe, baby, you should
If that?s a problem for you (X3)
You should
Now there?s a cold wind blowing
Through the door you left open
I hear it howl I feel it blow
Why did I ever let you go?
CH: Lately, you don?t take me seriously
But maybe, baby, I could
If that?s a problem for you (repeat to fade)
