I know I’m going about it wrong
But I’m not really trying to go about it
Cause if I gotta wait around this long
I’ll be you I could prob’ly live without it

But there’s only so much one man can not do
And there’s only so far one man can not go
There’s only so many times that one man can say
“Maybe tomorrow but not today”

It’s time I start perfecting
A skill I’ve been neglecting
The art of leaving well enough alone

I wish that I could just refuse
But in the end that’s just another cop-out
So tell me, how much have I got to lose?
Is it worse to flunk the course or be a drop-out?

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
The harder they fall, then the deeper they go
The deeper they go, then the farther they’ll crawl
To hear themselves saying “I told you so”

Though conscience can’t condone it
I’m hoping hard to hone it
The art of leaving well enough alone

I knew you weren’t coming
So I didn’t bake a cake
Your recipe’s got all the wrong ingredients
Romantic, star-lit savoir faire
Was never to your taste, my dear
You need two scoops of salesmanship
And six feet of obedience

But there’s only so much that a fella can take
You can try to get more, but you’ll find you can’t take it
The ultimate technique is one you can’t fake
You master this lesson and lad, you might make it

What are you so intense for?
There’s one there’s no defence for
The art of leaving well enough alone
The art of leaving well enough alone
