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
