Wont Do it Twice by Judie Tzuke Lyrics

It’s a school of pain that I’m studying in
I never thought I’d get caught like this again
It’s a struggle to find a place to start rebuilding all
My world on a fragile heart

So it’s back to where I came from
Get down to get myself up right here at the start again

I won’t smell you if I don’t breathe in
If I close my eyes then you won’t get in
I try to find another way to circle round this life
’Cause you’ve done this to me once
And you won’t do it twice

What are friends for, are they overrated
Oh still worth fighting for? Right now it’s hard to tell
Empty promises, vague excuses, I don’t want to face the truth
Though I know it very well

So it’s back to where I came from
Get down to get myself up right here at the start again
I won’t smell you if I don’t breathe in
If I close my eyes then you won’t get in
I try to find another way to circle round this life
’Cause you’ve done this to me once
And you won’t do it twice

I keep repeating the same mistakes
With different people in a different place
I don’t want to believe it’s wrong to feel anything at all
And I know it’ll happen again

I won’t smell you if I don’t breathe in
And if I close my eyes then you won’t get in
I try to find another way to circle round this life
’Cause you’ve done this to me once
And you won’t do it twice

You won’t do it twice
