It's not what I planned or my intention
But I think it's only right that I should mention
I didn't get where I am by doing fine
You gotta know I learnt the hard way everytime
I tried every bottle when I was young
And I smoked everything that would burn
I had tasted poison on the tip of my tounge
And It took someone to die before I could learn
It's not what I planned or my intention
But I think it's only right that I should mention
I didn't get where I am by doing fine
You gotta know I learnt the hard way everytime
The so called girl of my dreams arrived one day
All my friend said she was a liar
6 months later and I was on my own
Felt the butterflies in my stomach light on fire
It's not what I planned or my intention
But I think it's only right that I should mention
I didn't get where I am by doing fine
You gotta know I learnt the hard way everytime
I was told more than once to not believe what I hear
If it's sounds to good to be true leave it alone
It turned out that I had no idea
And I was left hungry and without a bone
It's not what I planned or my intention
But I think it's only right that I should mention
I didn't get where I am by doing fine
You gotta know I learnt the hard way everytime
