First time I left home Here's the words that my dad said to me He said sit down son Don't take curves Doin' 90 miles an hour Or you will end up upside down If you really like her Don't forget the flowers The first time and every time you take her out I've been around the block And I know what's 'round the corner Choose your words wisely Cause you can't take 'em back Once they've broken someone's heart Just because your friend does Doesn't mean you have to It's what sets the two of you apart I've been around the block And I know what's 'round the corner Don't pretend to know it all When you don't know a thing And know your way around it Before you throw your hat into the rain And don't commit to somethin' If you can't follow through And your past will always catch up with you I've been around the block And I know what's 'round the corner Always call your mama When you say you gonna While she's still here for you to call And don't forget the man upstairs In your darkest hour He's a pick me up every time you fall I've been around the block And I know what's 'round the corner I've been around the block And I know what's 'round the corner I'm in your corner I've been around the block Enough to know what's 'round the corner What's around the corner [x2]
