Melora Hardin Everybody Says Don't lyrics

Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't, it isn't right, don't, it isn't nice
Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't walk on the grass

Don't disturb the peace, don't skate on the ice
Well, I say do, I say walk on the grass
It was meant to feel, I say sail
Tilt at the windmill and if you fail, you fail

Everybody says don't, everybody says don't
Everybody says don't get out of line
When they say that, then, lady that's a sign
Nine times out of ten, lady, you are doing just fine

Make just a ripple, come on be brave
This time a ripple, next time a wave
Sometimes you have to start small
Climbing the tiniest wall, maybe you're going to fall
But it is better than not starting at all


Everybody says no, everybody says stop
Everybody says mustn't rock the boat
Mustn't touch a thing, everybody says don't
Everybody says wait

Everybody says can't fight city hall
Can't upset the cart, can't laugh at the king
Well, I say try, I say laugh at the kings
Or they'll make you cry, lose your poise

Fall if you have to but lady, make a noise
Everybody says don't, everybody says can't
Everybody says wait around for miracles
That's the way the world is made

I insist on miracles, if you do them
Miracles, nothing to them
I say don't, don't be afraid
