I'll Try Anything Once
Cloudy Retro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You′ll beware of five about
Seven ways to go through school
Either you're noticed or left out
Seven ways to get ahead
Seven reasons to drop out
When I said, "I can see me in your eyes,"
That′s not just friendship that's romance too
You like music we can dance to
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I′ll get along with you
There is a time when we all fail
Some people take it pretty well
Some take it all out on themselves
Some they just take it out on friends
Oh everybody plays the game
And if you don′t you're called insane
Don′t don't don′t don't it′s not safe no more
I got to see you one more time
Since you were born in 1984
Sit me down
Shut me up
I'll calm down
And I'll get along with you
Everybody was well dressed
And everybody was a mess
Six things without fail you must do
So that your woman loves just you
Oh all the girls played mental games
And all the guys were dressed the same
Why not try it all
If you only remember it once
Sit me down
Shut me up
I′ll calm down
And I′ll get along with you
Okay, one more time
