Lyrics
Free Advice
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A bit of free advice (vice)
We'll tell it to you now (nice, twice)
If you're got some habits
Some people won't allow (won't allow, allow)
Be cool; be clean
If you know what I mean
We're all got our ups (ups, ups)
We're all got our downs (we're all got our downs)
Some of us are careless
And leave I'm layin? Around (layin? Round, around)
Be neat, discreet
And keep your ear to the ground
Everyone has had a loved one who's far, far away
And if you don't want to take that trip someday
(Think twice)
Be cool (be cool)
Be clean (be clean)
If you know what I mean
Everyone has had a loved one who's far far away
And if you don't wanna take that trip someday
A bit of free advice (vice, vice)
Well tell it to you now (tell it to you now)
If you've got some habits
Some people won't allow (won't allow, allow)
Everyone has had a loved one
Don't be out on the street
Everyone has had a loved one
If you know what I mean
