I'll try anything once



10 decisions shape your life
You'll be aware of 5 about
7 ways to go through school
Either you're noticed or left out
7 ways to get ahead
7 reasons to drop out

When I say
"I can see me in your eyes"
You say
"I can see you in my gut"
That meant his friendship detriments to
You like music we can dance to

Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some they just take it out on friends
Oh, everybody plays the game
And if you don't, you're called insane

Don't don't don't don't, it's not safe no more
We've got to see you one more time
Send you a card
In 1984

Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you

Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
16's a love that you must do
So that you're one that loves a few
All the girls play mental games
And all the guys were dressed the same

Why not try it all?
If you're only in the married ones
Who...?
Whose...that?
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
