Go For What You Know

Like honey bees after honey
Boys swarmed around you, girl
Pretty girls with brand new money
They just couldn't resist you, child
And any boy could have been your choice
And baby, I can still hear your voice
Telling me, "Go for what you know"

Go for what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)

A caravan of long pretty cars
All lined up in a long, long row
Like a wave of movie stars
Only waiting for you to show
And as you strolled through the Cadillac
That was parked, that was parked right in the back
I heard you say to me, "Go for what you know"

Go for what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)
For what you know, boy (What you know, boy)

Now I tried to warn you, baby
I tried to warn you, baby
This couldn't last forever
No, no, no, no, no
Just go for what you know
You had your new car
But time has brought about a good change
And you're not up there anymore

'Cause now there ain't no more honey
No more honey
You've gone away, girl
Ain't no more pretty money
No more money
Back from yesterday, child
Screw, you had a real good thing
But now you don't, now you don't have anything
So pretty baby, go for what you know

Go for what you know, girl (What you know, girl)
What you know, girl (What you know, girl)
What you know, girl (What you know, girl)
