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 gotta learn to take advice
Sometimes you dont know best
I've learnt the hard way once or twice
Thats something i will regret

Dont say youll always be right here
There comes a time when youll be somewhere else
I know this might not help right now
But i know every little bit helps
You'll find out as your growing up
This life is very hit or miss
You should never expect too much,
and you should never give promises
You've gotta learn to take advice
'Coz sometimes you dont know best
I've learnt the hard way once or twice,
thats something i will regret

[Chorus]

Now ive lost what you've found
Maybe i did too little much too late
But ill still hang around

Sometimes youve gotta swallow pride
Even though i know it hurts
And though you wont see it then
Your preventing
something thats worse
I dont pretend to know the best
Or even that i know a lot
Im just giving you some advice, what little help ive got

You've gotta learn to take advice
Sometimes you dont know best
I've learnt the hard way once or twice
Thats something i will regret

Now ive lost what you've found
Maybe i did too little much too late
But ill still hang around

Now ive lost what you've found
Maybe i did too little much too late
But ill still hang around

Im sorry that we messed it up
That you thought i was a waste of space
I'm sad we didnt work it out
Im sorry the time was a waste
But remember when you think back then,
Without it youd someone else
What doesnt kill ya makes you stronger
I put that rule to the test!

You've gotta learn to take advice
Sometimes you dont know best
I've learnt the hard way once or twice
Thats something i will regret

Now ive lost what you've found
Maybe i did too little much too late
But ill still hang around
