Don't Get Mad, Get Even

I thought I knew as well as most, not to try to beat you When the threat of losing's never far away Now time has passed I'm older now, I wonder if I could teach you To be better at being more reasoned and diplomatic PRE-CHORUS: And honestly, I had to walk away from it The truth you see, it stressed me all the time So don't ask me, about things I can't control, don't get mad get even So don't lose sleep, over things you can never know, don't get mad get even The warning signs were there to see, from plenty other bodies When the simple truth is real friends don't fight over money See you've always had a way with words but your jokes they still fall flat, If it's not the punchline it's in the way you tell them PRE-CHORUS: And honestly you need to walk away from this The truth you see, it's stressed you all the time too So don't ask me, about things I can't control, don't get mad get even So don't lose sleep, over things you can never know, don't get mad get even MIDDLE EIGHT: Now I know, what was harder to see, but there's a clear divide, a greater distance between you and me... BREAKDOWN BUILDING INTO CHORUS: So don't ask me, about things I can't control, don't get mad get even So don't lose asleep, over things I can never know, don't get mad get even Don't Get Mad Get Even, Don't Get Mad Get Even, Don't Get Mad Get Even
