[Verse 1] You arrived with perfect timing And a talent for mistakes Ordered something far too expensive Said, “Relax, I know this place” You had confidence for miles Common sense for half a block I should've left before you smiled But apparently I forgot [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Trust me” That was clue number one You said, “Just one drink” That's how trouble gets begun [Chorus] You give such bad advice I take it every time You make disaster sound Like something almost civilized Bad advice Delivered with a smile I know exactly what you are I think I'll stay a while [Verse 2] You know people who know people That's never good to hear There's a table in the corner And nobody sitting near You keep talking like the evening Has already been arranged I keep noticing the exits While ordering champagne [Pre-Chorus] You said, “Don't worry” That's clue number two And every sensible decision Left the room with you [Chorus] You give such bad advice I take it every time You make disaster sound Like something almost civilized Bad advice Delivered with a smile I know exactly what you are I think I'll stay a while [Breakdown] Maybe this is stupid Maybe that's the point Maybe good decisions Are dramatically overrated No, don't explain it You'll only make it worse Actually— Go on [Instrumental] [Bridge] If the night goes wrong I'll blame your charm If it goes right That's more alarming You raise your glass Like nothing's strange I raise mine back Some people never change [Final Chorus] You give such bad advice I take it every time You make disaster sound Like something almost civilized Bad advice I should know better by now But good advice was never half As interesting somehow [Outro] You said, “Trust me” No. But pour another.
