Wise to the Ways of the World Songtext
von 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
