IT CAN'T HURT

you thought the idea was good
to hang around in my neighborhood
thought it was a good idea
you even thought it might advance your career
thought that time was on your side
and you can go along for the ride
thought you wouldn't go to far
your thoughts have hot you where you are

(chorus)
I never had a crystal ball, and I never promised you at all
I never promise you a thing, I never knew what things would bring
it can't hurt, it can't hurt, not gonna hurt you doll
it hasn't helped, it hasn't helped, hasn't helped you at all

you believe that being where you've been
was a way that you could walk right in.
and you were sure that going where you've gone
was a way that you could get up on
you had to do what you had to do
and you bit off more than you could chew
open your eyes and look at where you're at
shut your mouth and swallow that

(chorus)
