A Word to the Wise by Only child Lyrics

Well, I've never been a rich man
But I don't ever lie
And I've tried to give you things, baby
That money just can't buy
But it don't take no genius
To see something's up your sleeve
Well, just keep in mind
You'll be answerin' to me

Some friends say they've seen ya
Drivin' 'round in a Rolls
Well, baby, you don't make enough
To put gas in our Olds
And I found me a diamond necklace
You've been hidin' in your drawer
Well, you better start explainin'
Or you'll be kissin' the floor

It's a long night ahead
And I'm full of doubt
Well, I want you to know
Your luck's just run out
A word to the wise
A word to the wise

You tell me you're always tryin'
To pull your own weight
But I'm sure it gets hard, baby
When you stumble in so late
Got your candles burnin' at both ends
But I'm the one in flames
And it's high time you learned
Well, I'm the best at your game

I'm closin' the door
There's no second chance
Well, tell me you're done
With this song and dance

A word to the wise
(To the wise)
A word to the wise

It's a long night ahead
I want you to know
Your luck's just run out

A word to the wise
(To the wise)
A word to the wise
A word to the wise
(To the wise)
A word to the wise
