The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - It Cant Hurt Lyrics

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 too far,
Your thoughts have got you where you are.
I never had a crystal ball, never promised you at all.
I never promised you a thing, I never knew what things would bring.
It can't hurt, It can't hurt, not gonna hurt you at all.
It hasn't helped, it hasn't helped, not gonna help you at all.
You believe that being where you've been,
And 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.
I never had a crystal ball, never promised you at all.
I never promised you a thing, I never knew what things would bring.
It can't hurt, It can't hurt, not gonna hurt you at all.
It hasn't helped, it hasn't helped, not gonna help you at all.
