DON'T YOU DARE (CLEAN)

from You Alright? by We Know John

/

about

Don't You Dare is the first single we released from our EP 'You Alright?'.

**This is the 'clean' version and contains no swearing**

If you have not heard of us before we are We Know John; a six-piece band that originates from the vibrant music scene of Southampton. Our music is a fusion of pop punk and punchy brass; blending the nostalgia of classic pop punk with the energy of the modern era and blasting horns. We try to write infectious horn lines, catchy melodies, and harmonious vocals that come together to create an upbeat, party-like atmosphere that you hopefully won't want to miss.

If you have a mate that is full of crap, is always making up lies and when they get in a relationship you never hear from them then this song is about them! 'Don't You Dare' is about getting to the point that you just can't be bothered with them anymore.

lyrics

Give it up, give it up, give it up, I know you won't
It was never gonna be a surprise
It was more like a matter of time before you f***** things up again
This is what you wanted, this is what you chose
Then you departed for pastures new

They say practice what you preach, that don't mean anything to me
You won't like what I've got to say, but I'll say it anyway

When you're down on your luck, don't you dare come running back to us
Think about what you've done
When you're out of girls to f***, don't you dare come running back to us
When your broken hearted, at an all time low
If you think we'll take you back again, don't you dare come running

When your status changed to single for the hundredth thousandth time
There be no hero story, just another f****** lie
We've been down this road too many times before
Now the wound is open, I hope it's f****** sore

They say that times supposed to heal, and it's hard to know what's real
I do not like the games we play, we'll play them anyway

When you're down on your luck, don't you dare come running back to us
Think about what you've done
When you're out of girls to f***, don't you dare come running back to us
When your broken hearted, at an all time low
If you think we'll take you back again, don't you dare come running

When you're down on your luck, don't you dare come running back to us
Think about what you've done
When you're out of girls to f***, don't you dare come running back to us
When your broken hearted, at an all time low
If you think we'll take you back again, don't you dare come running
