If I Were You (I Really Wouldn't Do That)

[Verse 1]

Everybody

Everybody wants to wear the crown

But ain't nobody wanna wait around

You thought you knew the score

But you been watchin' the wrong board

So take it easy on the rat race, baby

'Cause runnin' circles gonna drive you crazy

Spotlight shinin' in your eyes

Like insects drawn to the light

[Pre-Chorus]

If you play with fire, you turn to dust

You could take a chance and fuck with us

[Chorus]

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

You must be new

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know

I really hate to say it but I told you so

The curtain's been drawn

The story's been told

You're screaming from an empty throne, so

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

[Verse 2]

Take a breather, you don't wanna miss this

You keep it up, there'll be a new statistic

I know what you're runnin' from

Mirror, mirror, loaded gun

If I'm a crook then you're a politician

Always talkin' but it makes no difference

Love the way that trophy shines

Like insects drawn into the light

[Pre-Chorus]

If you play with fire, you turn to dust

You could take a chance and fuck with us

[Chorus]

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

You must be new

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know

I really hate to say it but I told you so

The curtain's been drawn

The story's been told

You're screaming from an empty throne, so

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

You must be new

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that

I feel sorry 'cause you just don't know

I really hate to say it but I told you so

The curtain's been drawn

The story's been told

You're screaming from an empty throne, so

If I were you

I-I-I-I really wouldn't do that

Nah-ah-ah, I really wouldn't do that
