Lyrics

FORTUNE COOKIE

[Verse 1] When the chips are down Don't you go ahead and doubt yourself, 'cause I haven't seen you around much lately So don't do nothing stupid [Verse 2] When the penny drops, hm-mm-mm That you sat on a fortune cookie Saying, "Pull up your socks 'Cause nothing out there can hurt you" [Chorus] And you say you wanna see somebody about it Say you wanna be somebody else elsewhere If you believe you're in need of repair Take care, take care [Post-Chorus] If you believe you're in need of repair Take care, take carе [Verse 3] When the curtains close And thе photos are all that we have left It's time to strike a pose Looking back, we've all pissed ourselves [Chorus] And you say you wanna see somebody about it Say you wanna be somebody else elsewhere If you believe you're in need of repair Take care, take care [Outro] Just take care (Aah-aah-aah), take care Just take care (Aah-aah-aah), take care Just take care (Aah-aah-aah), take care, take care Take care (Aah-aah-aah), take care Take care, take care
