Free Advice Lyrics

A bit of free advice (—vice)
We'll tell it to you now (Nice, twice)
If you've 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 'em layin' around (Layin' 'round, around)
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
