My heart has been my teacher and I've learned quite a lot
Listened while I could and tried not to get caught
In the boom badum, badum, badum, badumMy heart is bound in the leather like the book you sent
I filled it with words and I'll pen them again
Drip, by drip, by drip, by drip, by dripDo yourself a favor, find a way to get awayHit me with your car, hit me with your best shot
I'll be standing there on the sidewalk waiting to see
What it is that you gotDo yourself a favor, find a way to get awayAnd when the summer sun comes you might shape up
Go back to being yourself and to the ones you love
And when the summer sun comes you might just say
"I gotta find a way to get away"And when the summer sun comes you might shape up
Go back to being yourself and to the ones you love
And when the summer sun comes you might just say
"I gotta find a way to get away"My heart has been my teacher and I've learned quite a lot
Listened while I could and tried not to get caught
In the boom badum, badum, badum, badum
