Wise to the Ways of the World

Wise To The Ways Of The World - Long John Baldry

I should've known from the start

That loving her was wrong

All along

And looking back I can see

Her love could only bring

Me misery

If I'd been something

more of a man

I would've stopped it

before it began

But I was certain

I knew the answers

And now my heart says

take no more chances

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

There's so much

that your life can hold

My heart says

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

You're much too young

to plan, for growing old

I should've known, from the start

That all the fears inside

Were justified

I should've seen all along

The magic in her eyes

Was only lies

If I had stopped to think for a while

I might've seen through

the warmth of her smile

But I was lonely, the day I met her

Now I can only try to forget her

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

There's so much

that your life can hold

My heart says

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

You're much too young,

to plan, for growing old

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

There's so much that your life can hold

My heart says

Get out, get a wise to

the ways of the world

You're much too young for growing old

My heart says

You're much too young for growing old
