  • I said don't do it babe
    Said it ain't worth it babe
    But you did it anyway
    Four or five drinks and you were on your way

    September 1st, 2003
    It took the life right out of me
    Hung up the phone
    Raced out the door
    Broken
    Tried to believe that it wasn't true
    But in my heart I always knew
    That being the life of the party would catch up to you
    Your family was waiting and crying for three damn hours

    I said don't do it babe
    Said it ain't worth it babe
    But you did it anyway
    Four or five drinks and you were on your way
    Everything's cool on the straight away
    But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
    Why babe?

    Every time I'm home I pass that road
    Driving alone and the street feels cold
    Seeing your face yeah it's haunting me
    My mind goes crazy tryin' to figure out
    Just where you would be four years from now
    And what you were thinking when the lights came down
    Doctors were trying to save you for three damn hours

    I said don't do it babe
    Said it ain't worth it babe
    But you did it anyway
    Four or five drinks and you were on your way
    Everything's cool on the straight away
    But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
    Why babe?

    Who ever said that life was fair
    When you live without a care
    When you're invincible
    When you're invincible
    When you're invincible
    Who thinks about leaving when you're livin'

    I said don't do it babe
    Said it ain't worth it babe
    But you did it anyway
    Four or five drinks and you were on your way
    Everything's cool on the straight away
    But you took that turn doing eighty-five in a thirty-five
    Why babe? Writer/s: DORY LOBEL, JESSE MCCARTNEY, KARA DIOGUARDI
