lyrics

I thought I thought I knew best
But what did I know
I thought I had the facts
Just goes to show
I didn't know nothing, I was a fool
You should've sent me packing back to school
So many lessons, so little time
Never seem to learn and that's the crime

What I did not see was right in front of me
I'm sure you'll all agree what I did not see

I thought I thought I knew best
That was my take
So how come my so-called life
Was one big mistake
I was once so confident
I trusted my brain
But then all my schemes
Got washed down the drain
So much info for so little output
I opened my mouth stuck in my foot

What did I know
I didn't know nothing
Nothing, no nothing at all
What did I know
I didn't know nothing
I took a great big fall

I thought I thought I knew best
I was so smart
But that's when my world began to fall apart
The more I learned, the less I knew
Even that old cliche was beyond my view
I tried to get sorted tried to get straight
But time screamed out, It's too late
