Lyrics

Don't be petty, don't be trite

I'm feeling pretty good now

I'm doing alright

Memories are wrong

They never did play fair

If it's all in the past

Why doesn't it stay there

I got older, I just didn't get wise

Bred for the occasion, but I didn't rise

I never gave up though like those other guys

I guess I never did learn how to compromise

Chorus:

I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee

I need to learn to stay good company

Now there's no one else behind this door

No warm feet on this January floor

Never give up, never give in

Unpopular decisions keep you lonely

Keep you thin

Friends turn to strangers and strangers friends

But life can be so sweet till the bitter end

Chorus
