Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Singing do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
[Verse 2]
If you had eyes like golden crowns and
Diamonds in your fingertips, you'd waste it
If shining wisdom passed your lips and
Traveled to the ears of God, you'd waste it
And so I hate you're overrated
Most revered and celebrated because you'll waste it
[Verse 3]
Then again, it's good to get a call
Now and then, just to say hello
Have I said, I hate to see you go?
I hate to see you go
[Verse 4]
But every time you close a door and nothing
Opens in it's place, you've wasted
And when you speak the words you know
To those who know the words themselves, you're wasted
Such a classic waste of cool
So afraid to break the rules in all the wrong places
[Verse 5]
But then again, it's good to get a call
Now and then, just to say hello
Have I said, how I hate to see you go?
I hate to see you go
[Verse 6]
Then again, it's good to get a call
Now and then, just to say hello
Have I said, I hate to see you go?
I hate to see you go
[Verse 7]
Singing do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Singing do-do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
