[Verse 1]

My heart has been my teacher and I've learned quite a lot

Listened while I could and tried not to get caught

In the boom badum, badum, badum, badum

My heart is bound in leather like the book you sent

I filled it with words and I'll pen them again

Drip, by drip, by drip, by drip, by drip

[Pre-Chorus]

Do yourself a favor, find a way

To get away

[Verse 2]

Hit me with your car, hit me with your best shot

I'll be standing there on the sidewalk waiting to see

What it is that you've got

[Pre-Chorus]

Do yourself a favor, find a way to get away

[Chorus]

And when the summer sun comes you might shape up

Go back to being yourself and to the ones you love

And when the summer sun comes you might just say

"I gotta find a way to get away"

And when the summer sun comes you might shape up

Go back to being yourself and to the ones you love

And when the summer sun comes you might just say

"I gotta find a way to get away"

[Verse 3]

My heart has been my teacher and I've learned quite a lot

Listened while I could and tried not to get caught

In the boom badum, badum, badum, badum
