Intro

Verse 1

Holding out for troubled waters,

Who knows where the course will tell you?

You've got many fortunate be-liefs.

 Like love your girl and love your mother,

Don't wait 'till a cold December;

Who knows when a brother's goin' down?

Chorus 1

Something every girl should know;

 Don't count on some to make it home.

Verse 2

 'Cos that reminds me of a time when,

All the lights were shining and the,

Light was always more than one could use.

 And you were once a shining ocean,

Giving light to those that wanted;

Something more to hold than just the air.

 So give me something to remember;

 A diamond ring u-pon a finger.

Chorus 2

Something every girl should know;

 Don't count on some to make it home.

You don't have to do what you're told,

Guess I'm kinda used to the cold.
