How long can a bell ring?
Just as long as it knows its tone (2x's)
I'm here to tell you that's how long
That a fool can go wrong
How long can a bird sing?
Just as long as it knows its song
(spoken): You gotta know your song
How long can a bird sing?
Just as long as it knows its song
See I'm here to tell you that's how long
That a fool can go wrong
I learned my lessons from people
You know in all walks of life (2x's)
I know if a person mistreats you once they're
Bound to misuse you twice
(That's why I said) how long can a bell ring?
Just as long as it knows its song (2x's)
I'm here to tell you that's how long
