Lyrics
A bit of free advice (vice)
We'll tell it to you now (nice, twice)
If you got some habits
Some people won't allow (won't allow, allow)
Be cool, be clean
If you know what I mean
We've all got our ups (ups, ups)
We've all got our downs (we've all got our downs)
Some of us are careless
And leave laying around (laying 'round and 'round)
Be neat, discreet
And keep your ear to the ground
Everyone has had a loved one who's far, far away
And if you don't wanna take that trip someday
(Think twice) be cool (be cool), be clean (be clean)
If you know what I mean, ooh
Everyone has had a loved one who's far, far away
And if you don't wanna take that trip someday
A bit of free advice (vice, vice)
We'll tell it to you now (tell it to you now)
If you've got some habits
Some people won't allow (won't allow, allow)
Everyone has had a loved one
Don't be out on the street
Everyone has had a loved one
If you know what I mean, ooh
