Don't Do What I Did Lyrics - Singles - Continental Drifters

Don't do what I did 

Don't do what I have done 

Turning the world against you 

All in the name of having fun 

You've got yourself to blame 

You'll only feel ashamed 

Like I do 

Don't do what I did 

Don't do what I did 

Don't break a beating heart 

Don't try to rend asunder 

What no man should tear apart 

You'll always feel so bad 

You'll only wish you hadn't 

Done like I did 

Don't do what I have done 

All the love I ever had 

Only ever wanted bad 

Bad enough to wind up dead 

All the moves I might have made 

All the best plans ever laid 

Only wound up shot instead 

Don't do what I did 

You break your own heart first 

If you're miserable now, just wait 

It only hurts all the worse 

Like a presence that won't leave 

It makes it hard to breathe 

Don't do what I have done 

This is not a helping hand 

I'm not one to understand 

I'm just pointing out the time to you 

How much more can one soul take? 

What's the measure of mistake 

When all you ever make is mine? 

Once you're a loser 

All you can learn to do is 

Don't do what I did 

And pick on a love that's true 

That was the big mistake 

The one that I had to make 

Don't do what I did 

Don't do what I did 

Don't do what I have done
