The 42nd Street Singers - Don't Read Half The Book Lyrics




When youth and life collided
And I was called misguided
They said I'd never make the final grade
My fate was pre-decided
No jury was provided
If they could see me now what would they say?
You thought you had me sized up
You thought you were so cool
Turns out you're no wise man, you're just a fool

So, if you want to know how the story ends
Just turn the page and take a second look
Next time don't read half the book
Don't read half the book

My confidence was shaken
But they were sure mistaken
If they thought that I'd give up on me
They said you'll never make it
But my will they couldn't break it
Turns out that they were wrong as wrong can be

For all of you who put me on the shelf
This boy's made something of himself

So, if you want to know how the story ends
Just turn the page and take a second look
Next time don't read the half the book
Don't read half the book

They wrote me off as lost
And, sure to fail
Nobody helped me find my way
But I have lived to tell my tale
I'm standing tall today

The story's finally ending
The final pages pending
There's always been so much more to read
I always knew I'd make it
Without having to fake it
And now it's me who has the final laugh

If you knew me now you'd sing a different tune
The year ends in December not in June

So, if you want to know how the story ends
Just turn the page and take a second look
Next time don't read half the book
Don't read half the book

So, if you want to know how the story ends
Just turn the page and take a second look
Next time don't read half the book
Don't read half the book
