  • Golden blunders come in pairs, they're very unaware
    What they know is what they've seen
    Education wasn't fun, but now that school is done
    Higher learning's just begun
    (Chorus)
    You're gonna watch what you say for a long time
    You're gonna suffer the guilt forever
    You're gonna get in the way at the wrong time
    You're gonna mess up things you thought you would never
    Disappointment breeds contempt, it make you feel inept
    Never thought you'd feel alone (at home)
    His and hers forever more, throw your freedom out of the door
    Before you find out what it's for
    (Chorus)
    Four weeks seemed like a long time then - but nine months is longer now
    But even if you never speak again - you've already made the wedding vow
    (Chorus)
    Honeymoons will never start, bonds will blow apart
    Just as fast as they were made
    Men and women please beware : don't pretend you care
    Nothing lasts when nothing's there
    (Repeat Chorus) Writer/s: JONATHAN PAUL AUER, KEN STRINGFELLOW
