[Verse 1]
Golden blunders come in pairs
They're very unaware
What they know is what they've seen
Education wasn't fun
But now that school is done
Higher learning's just begun, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
You're going to watch what you say for a long time
You're going to suffer the guilt forever
You're going to get in the way at the wrong time
You're going to mess up things you though you would never

[Verse 2]
Disappointment breeds contempt
It makes you feel inept
Never thought you'd feel alone at home
His and hers forever more
Throw your freedom out the door
Before you find out what it's for, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Four weeks seemed like a long time then
But nine months is longer now
And even if you never speak again
You've already made the wedding vow

[Chorus]
You're going to watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're going to suffer the guilt forever
You're going to get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're going to mess up things you though you would never

[Verse 4]
Honeymoons will never start
Bonds will blow apart
Just as fast as they were made
Men and women, please, beware
Don't pretend you care
Nothing lasts when nothing's there, ah-hah-hah

[Chorus x3]
You're going to watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're going to suffer the guilt forever
You're going to get in the way at the wrong time, (girl)
You're going to mess up things you though you would never

[Outro]
You're going to watch what you say for a long time, (boy)
You're going to suffer the guilt forever

Best known as the drummer for The Beatles, Ringo Starr (born Richard Starkey, 1940) also had a moderately successful solo career (with hits like “It Don’t Come Easy” and “Photograph”) and was the narrator for Thomas The Tank Engine.

His country-infused nickname emerged from a tendency to wear rings on his fingers.
