( Singing song lyrics )
DON'T SING
Copyright © 2005 - mickterry.com

1: All of my best friends and all of my exes,
'cept maybe that tone-deaf one way down in Texas,
kept telling me the same damned thing: "Don't sing".
Maybe at some point I really should listen.
But, what does it matter? Do I even miss them?
But, still there's that familiar ring: "Don't sing".

CHORUS:
"Don't sing if the mood ever hits you.
Don't sing-, your voice has done quit you.
Don't sing. No one's wanting to hear it.
If you never learn one more thing: 'Don't sing'-."

2: All of my sisters and both of my brothers
and seventeen cousins and even my mother
kept telling me the same damned thing: "Don't sing".
Just when I'm sure that I sound like Bill Medley,
they've all got to tell me that it's pretty deadly,
like winter, not a bit like spring: "Don't sing".
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
But not my Dad, God bless- him.
Having no great voice, he wouldn't let them suppress him.
He wouldn't let it stop a thing: he'd sing.
He often would tell me, "Don't worry.
There're too many folks in way too big a hurry
to have fun with life's simple things: just sing."

3: Throughout my whole life I've had laryngitis,
sore throats, colds & flus where my throat was the tightest,
all telling me the same damned thing: "Don't sing".
Should I accept I am not a good singer?
Just follow the clues that my voice ain't no winner?
Regardless of the way it stings, don't sing?
CHORUS:
