Elvis Costello — Accidents Will Happen

[Verse 1] Oh, I just don't know where to begin Though he says he'll wait forever, it's now or never But she keeps him hanging on, the silly champion She says she can't go home without a chaperone [Chorus] Accidents will happen, we only hit and run He used to be your victim, now you're not the only one Accidents will happen, we only hit and run I don't wanna hear it 'cause I know what I've done [Verse 2] There's so many fish in the sea That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury But they keep you hanging on, they say you're so young Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone [Chorus] Accidents will happen, we only hit and run He used to be your victim, now you're not the only one Accidents will happen, we only hit and run I don't wanna hear it 'cause I know what I've done [Bridge] And it's the damage that we do and never know It's the words that we don't say that scare me so [Verse 3] There's so many people to see So many people you can check up on and add to your collection But they keep you hanging on until you're well hung Your mouth is made up, but your mind is undone [Chorus] Accidents will happen, we only hit and run He used to be your victim, now you're not the only one Accidents will happen, we only hit and run I don't wanna hear it 'cause I know what I've I know what I've, I know what I've done [Outro] I know, I know... [Repeat until fade]
