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 you heard the joke?
Did you read the barroom quotes?
It's all expensive merchandise
Like counterfeit currency
Looks can be deceiving
I took your adviceI won't let it happen twice
It's a waste of time thinking about it
Just thinking about it
You should let it lie right where you found it
They keep you surrounded-keep you surrounded
Poets and politicians
Everything's a strange ambition
I'm writing letters with 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 thinking about it
Just thinking about it
You should let it lie 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
It was all slight of hand
I took your advice-I won't let it happen twice
