I didn't ask, they shouldn't have told me
At first I laughed but now
It's sinking in fast, whatever they sold me
But, baby

I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)

It gets hard, when memory's faded
And who gets what the say
It's likely they're just jealous and jaded
Or maybe

I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)

Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)

I can't let it get me off
Or break up my train of thought
As far as I know nothing's wrong
Until I hear it from you

Still thinking about not living without it
Outside looking in, 'til we're talking about
Not stepping around it
Maybe

I don't want to take advice from fools
I'll just figure everything is cool
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)

Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you (hear it from you)
Until I hear it from you, oh no
It's gonna carry on
You, oh no
It's gonna carry on

(Won't take advice from fools)
(Figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you
(Won't take advice from fools)
(Figure everything is cool)
'Til I hear it from you

Gin Blossoms

Gin Blossoms are an American pop rock band formed in 1987 in Tempe, Arizona. They broke out with the song "Hey Jealousy" from their successful major label debut, New Miserable Experience (1992), but this achievement was coupled with the firing and eventual suicide of the song's author and band co-founder Doug Hopkins, prompting the title of their followup album, Congratulations I'm Sorry (1996). After a series of charting singles, the band broke up in 1997. After they reunited in 2002 they released a fourth album, Major Lodge Victory, in 2006, and their fifth, No Chocolate Cake, in 2010. more »
