Bad Advice

[Verse 1: Bill Champlin, with bandmates]
She said, Tell me what it's all about
I said, "Why, why, why?"
It's just something you could do without
You better try, try try
She said, "I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't call you when you're not at home"
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie

[Chorus: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
Bad advice
Has me down and undone
Got to try again
To believe in myself
Look at me
I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling
Falling down?

[Verse 2: Bill Champlin, with bandmates]
I said, "Mama can you get it straight?"
She said, "Why, why, why?"
I wanna tell you that it just can't wait
So let's try, try, try
She said, "I don't know where you might have gone
I don't care because you've done me wrong"
You been doing it far too long
So goodbye, bye, bye

[Instrumental]

[Chorus: Peter Cetera, with bandmates]
Bad advice
Has me down and undone
Got to try again
To believe in myself
Look at me
I'm alone in the end
Can you see me falling
Falling down?

[Verse 3: Bill Champlin, with bandmates]
She said, Tell me what it's all about
I said, "Why, why, why?"
It's just something you can do without
You better try, try, try
I can't reach you on the telephone
I can't call you when you're not at home
You keep saying that you're all alone
That's a lie, lie, lie
