I'd sometimes like to study English with using lyrics. It expands my vocabulary skill in a fun way. Once I fully understand the lyrics, the song reminds me of the vocabulary every time I listen to the song.
Lyrics
If you want to call, don't
Don't come crawling up to my back door
We've tried that before
If you think I will, I won't give an inch
'Cause you'll take me miles from home
Now you're on your own
I got one foot in front of the other
All I know is what I know
And the one thing left that keeps me together
Will get me over or won't change nothing at all
If you're wondering, no
I haven't thought about you
Since this afternoon
If you're just stopping by, go
I got so many interesting things to do
But not with you [boo-whoo]
I got one foot in front of the other
All I know is what I know
And the one thing left that keeps me together
Will get me over or won't change nothing at all
I couldn't be more over you
[Instrumental Break]
I got one foot in front of the other
All I know is what I know
And the one thing left that keeps me together
Will get me over or won't change nothing at all (x2)
I got one foot in front of the other
One of us does not like the other
One of us is not like the other
