To get you out of a mess, mmm

Then come to me to confess, no!

Woulda, shoulda, coulda but you never learn

Woulda, shoulda, coulda but you never learn

You can rely on me
I'll understand

Woulda, shoulda, coulda but you never learn
(Never learn)
To keep me in the center of things, mmm
I'll be there for you just show me some faith in return
You're quick to say you can do it your way
But now look who keeps gettin' burned
