Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
Golden blunders come in pairs, they're very unaware What they know is what they've seen Education wasn't fun, but now that school is done Higher learning's just begun (Chorus) You're gonna watch what you say for a long time You're gonna suffer the guilt forever You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time You're gonna mess up things you thought you would never Disappointment breeds contempt, it make you feel inept Never thought you'd feel alone (at home) His and hers forever more, throw your freedom out of the door Before you find out what it's for (Chorus) Four weeks seemed like a long time then - but nine months is longer now But even if you never speak again - you've already made the wedding vow (Chorus) Honeymoons will never start, bonds will blow apart Just as fast as they were made Men and women please beware : don't pretend you care Nothing lasts when nothing's there (Repeat Chorus)
