GOLDEN BLUNDERS COME IN PAIRS,
THEY'RE VERY UNAWARE
WHAT THEY KNOW IS WHAT THEY'VE SEEN
EDUCATION WASN'T FUN,
BUT NOW THAT SCHOOL IS DONE,
HIGHER LEARNING'S JUST BEGUN, HEY, HEY, HEY

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME,
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME,
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

DISAPPOINTMENT BREEDS CONTEMPT,
IT MAKES YOU FEEL INEPT,
NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D FEEL ALONE AT HOME
HIS AND HERS FOREVER MORE,
THROW YOUR FREEDOM OUT THE DOOR
BEFORE YOU FIND OUT WHAT IT'S FOR, HEY, HEY, HEY

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME,
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME,
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

FOUR WEEKS SEEMED LIKE A LONG TIME THEN,
BUT NINE MONTHS IS LONGER NOW
AND EVEN IF YOU NEVER SPEAK AGAIN,
YOU'VE ALREADY MADE THE WEDDING VOW

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME, (boy)
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME, (girl)
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

HONEYMOONS WILL NEVER START,
BONDS WILL BLOW APART
JUST AS FAST AS THEY WERE MADE
MEN AND WOMEN, PLEASE, BEWARE,
DON'T PRETEND YOU CARE
NOTHING LASTS WHEN NOTHING'S THERE, AH-HAH-HAH

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME, (boy)
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME, (girl)
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME, (boy)
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME, (girl)
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME, (boy)
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
YOU'RE GONNA GET IN THE WAY AT THE WRONG TIME, (girl)
YOU'RE GONNA MESS UP THINGS YOU THOUGH YOU WOULD NEVER

YOU'RE GONNA WATCH WHAT YOU SAY FOR A LONG TIME, (boy)
YOU'RE GONNA SUFFER THE GUILT FOREVER
