( Singing song lyrics )
DON'T SING
Copyright © 2005 - MickTerry.com
All of my best friends and all of my exes,
'cept maybe that tone-deaf one way down in Texas,
kept telling me the same damned thing: "DON'T SING".
Maybe at some point I really should listen.
But, what does it matter? Do I even miss them?
But, still there's that familiar ring: "DON'T SING".
"DON'T SING if the mood ever hits you.
DON'T SING-, your voice has done quit you.
DON'T SING. No one's wanting to hear it.
If you never learn one more thing: DON'T SING-."
All of my sisters and both of my brothers
and seventeen cousins and even my mother
kept telling me the same damned thing: "DON'T SING".
Just when I'm sure that I sound like Bill Medley,
they've all got to tell me that it's pretty deadly,
like winter, not a bit like spring: "DON'T SING".
CHORUS
But not my Dad, God bless- him.
Having no great voice, he wouldn't let them suppress him.
He wouldn't let it stop a thing: he'd sing.
He often would tell me, "DON'T worry.
There're too many folks in way too big a hurry
to have fun with life's simple things: just SING."
Throughout my whole life I've had laryngitis,
sore throats, colds & flus where my throat was the tightest,
all telling me the same damned thing: "DON'T SING".
Should I accept I am not a good singer?
Just follow the clues that my voice ain't no winner?
Regardless of the way it stings, DON'T SING?
CHORUS
