"Don't Burn Down The Bridge" lyrics

Gladys Knight & The Pips Lyrics

"Don't Burn Down The Bridge"

When your enemies were closing in
And you didn't have the slightest chance to win
I didn't know if you were wrong or right
I just jumped on it and helped you win the fight
But now that everything's alright again (everything's alright again)
Finding out that we're no longer friends
You say you don't need my help any more
But there's just one thing I want to say before you walk out the door

That is
Don't burn down the bridges
That brought you across
Don't burn down the bridges
You don't have to burn down the bridges
That brought you across
That brought you across
That brought you across

You know
You don't have to burn
You don't have to burn your bridges down
Because in my life I've found
That when you burn them down
When you need a bdige to cross
There ain't no bridge around

And you
Never know when you're gonna need my love again
I remember when you were down and out
You needed love, someone to care without a doubt
Now [?] like a river that was much too wide
But I came and helped you over to the other side
Now that you're back on your feet again
You started hanging out with all your so-called friends
Where were they when you needed a helping hand
What goes around comes back around again
So I remember

Don't burn down the bridges
That brought you across
Don't burn down the bridges
Don't you burn down the bridges
That brought you across
That brought you across
That brought you across

Most of us don't realize
Blessing right before our eyes
True loving friends are really rare
Cause now a days we just don't seem to care
No way no way

Never know when you're gonna need my love again
Burn down the bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
Don't you burn down bridges
Don't burn them down
