[Intro]
One, two, three, four, one!
Yeah
Okay
Don't do it
Don't you try, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't do that (Don't, don't, don't)
Don't do that (You got a good thing goin' now)
Don't do it, don't do it, don't

[Chorus]
Don't try suicide, nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide, nobody cares
Don't try suicide, you're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide, nobody gives a damn

[Verse 1]
So you think it's the easy way out?
Think you're gonna slash your wrists this time?
Baby, when you do it, all you do is get on my tits

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't do that (Try, try, try, baby)
Don't do that (You got a good thing goin' now)
Don't do it, don't do it, don't

[Chorus]
Don't try suicide, nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide, nobody cares
Don't try suicide, you're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide, nobody gives a damn

[Bridge]
You need help
Look at yourself, you need help (Yeah)
You need life
So don't hang yourself
It's okay, okay, okay, okay
You just can't be a prick teaser all of the time

[Verse 2]
A little bit attention? You got it
Need some affection? You got it (Hey)
Suicide, suicide, suicide bid (Oh)
Suicide, suicide, suicide bid (Uh)
Suicide (Hey)
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, babe (Yeah)
Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it!
Hey
Yeah

[Verse 3]
Don't put your neck on the line
Don't drown on me, babe
Blow your brains out

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't do that (Yeah)
Don't do that (You got a good thing going, baby)
Don't do it, (No) don't do it, (No!) don't

[Chorus]
Don't try suicide, nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide, nobody cares
Don't try suicide, you're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide, nobody gives, nobody gives
Nobody gives a damn

[Outro]
Okay

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
