Accidents will happen

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
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 want to hear it
´Cause I know what I´ve done
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
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you´re not the only one
And it´s the damage that we do
And never know
It´s the words that we don´t say
That scare me so
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
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you´re not the only one
I know, I know, [x2]
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
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 want to hear it
´Cause I know what I´ve done
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
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you´re not the only one
And it´s the damage that we do
And never know
It´s the words that we don´t say
That scare me so
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
Accidents will happen
We only hit and run
He used to be your victim
Now you´re not the only one
I know, I know, [x2]
