lyrics

I didn't know you'd been replaced by another boy-
Your luck it fluctuates with time
Like the talk in this town; your luck it goes up and down
I didn't know you'd been around-
That's the first I'd heard,
You need to think before you do
Before you hurt those close,
Those close around you

When the opportunity comes, you just say no
It's not a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for

A common trait unites us all when you think of it:
We like to feel as though we're loved
And when we're messed around, oh it really gets us down
So treating others like you want to be treated
When feeling mistreated really works
We're living in a hypocritical world- look out for yourself

And when the opportunity comes, you just say no
It's not a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for
When the opportunity comes, you just say no
It shouldn't be a hard thing to do when you're with a girl you care for
