Written by peter holsapple Main voice: peter Released on 'vermilion' (1999) Wooooh! Don't do what I did Don't do what I have done Turning the world against ya All in the name of having fun You've got yourself to blame You'll only feel ashamed Like I do Don't do what I did. Don't do what I did Don't break a beating heart Don't try to rend asunder What no man should tear apart You'll always feel so bad You'll only wish you hadn't Done like I did Don't do what I have done. All the love I ever had Only ever wanted bad Bad enough to wind up dead All the moves I might've made All the best plans ever laid Only wound up shot instead. Don't do what I did You break your own heart first If you're miserable now, just wait It only hurts all the worse Like a presence that won't leave It makes it hard to breathe Don't do what I have done. This is not a helping hand I'm not one to understand I'm just pointing out the time to you How much more can one soul take What's the measure of mistake When all you ever make is mine. Once you're a loser All you can learn to do is Don't do what I did And pick on a love that's true That was the big mistake The one that I had to make Don't do what I did Don't do what I did Don't do what I have done.
