Do It Yourself Lyrics

I could never know
I taught you ever chord and every note
I gave you every word and song I wrote
And your career took off

I could only hope
You'd take me all the way or wait at home
I wanted you to stay and never go
Never go at all

Never start a band with a best friend
Never shake hands
Never make plans
You should really find somebody else
You ought to go it alone
You ought to do it yourself

Why do people change?
We used to want the same and share the stage
We played at every show and every game
And it became less fun

I can only say
I hope you never make the same mistake
I'll find another plan, another way
And I will still go on

Never start a band with a best friend
Never shake hands
Never make plans
You should really find somebody else
You ought to go it alone
You ought to do it yourself

Never start a band with a best friend
Never shake hands
Never make plans
You should really find somebody else

Never start a band with a best friend
Never shake hands
Never make plans
Never loan an instrument
You should really find somebody else
You ought to go it alone
You ought to do it yourself
