Do It Yourself!

Verse 1

My friend used to blame me

For coming closer,

He went out with his girl

And he said I was too close

And I said: "Do it yourself!"

My friend used to blame me

For being lazy,

He hadn't had a job

For so long

And he said I should have changed my mind

And I said: "Do it yourself!"

My friend used to blame me

For not taking chances,

He could stay all day long

At home

And he wondered why I was thinking on my own

In my bed

And I said: "Do it yourself!"

Chorus 1

Mate! You'd better realise

How it feels with your feet on the ground,

I'm not the teacher

And you're not the student;

Try walking in my shoes,

You should see how it feels

Verse 2

My girl friend used to blame me

For dreaming of love too much,

She was desperate

Cos guys didn't love her at all

And I said: "Do it yourself!"

My girl friend used to blame me

For being a dreamer,

She wondered why

People were obsessed with her

And I said: "Don't tell about your secrets!"

My girl friend used to blame me

For speaking too much,

She used to speak too much about her own life

And I hadn't got a clue about it,

She said I should have taken care

And I said: "Do it yourself!"

Chorus 2

Girl! Don't tell them all about you,

They must realise how weak you are,

I'm not the lover

And you're not the bride to come;

Try walking in my shoes,

You should see how it feels

Bridge

The world needs leaders

But how can you say

You're a leader

When you're standing tongue tied?

Chorus 3

My case is easy to see,

Try walking in my shoes,

Shut up

When I'm talking,

Make the world turn

Before you tell me something
