"The Corner" lyrics

First time I left home
Here's the words that my dad said to me
He said, "Sit down, son."

Don't take curves doing ninety miles an hour or you will end up upside down
If you really like her, don't forget the flowers the first time and every time you take her out

I've been around the block
And I know what's 'round the corner

Choose your words wisely 'cause you can't take 'em back once they've broken someone's heart
Just because your friend does doesn't mean you have to, it's what sets the two of you apart

I've been around the block
And I know what's 'round the corner

Don't pretend to know it all when you don't know a thing
And know your way around it 'fore you throw your hat into the rain
And don't commit to something
If you can't follow through
And your past will always catch up with you

I've been around the block
And I know what's 'round the corner

Always call your mama when you say you gonna while she's still here for you to call
And don't forget the man upstairs in your darkest hour, he's a pick-me-up every time you fall

I've been around the block
And I know what's 'round the corner
I've been around the block
And I know what's 'round the corner
I'm in your corner

I've been around the block
Enough to know what's around the corner
What's around the corner
What's around the corner
