Do As I say and Not As I do

Lyric video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLFF5WsDhQw

Lyrics:

Verse One

Do As I say and Not As I do
You know it breaks my heart in two,
To see you act,
Like a fool.

I love you for what I can get,
But not for who you are,
What you say and
Where you shall go.

But did you know that…

Chorus

We've all got a story to show,
And the people that we once know’d,
Will be gone but not forgotten,
Cause they’re still buried in our hearts.
And the people you wanted to go,
And light the world up and set-up the show,
Well I can tell you that we’re never ever ever 
That far apart. 


Verse Two

Do As I say and Not As I do
You know the river isn’t blue,
It’s see through,
Just like you.

I love you for what I can get,
But not for who you are,
What you say or
Where you shall go.

But did you know that…

Chorus

We've all got a story to show,
And the people that we once know’d,
Will be gone but not forgotten,
Cause they’re still buried in our hearts.
And the people you wanted to go,
And light the world up and set-up the show,
Well I can tell you that we’re never ever ever 
That far apart.
