Sounds familiar?
Oh yes, very familiar
And for each such scenario
I can paint a picture.
What happen to her
Could never happen to me,
I would have fixed him ever since;
Seriously!
You see that accident?
I tell you he can’t drive!
That would never happen to me;
I’d steer into the slide.
And you took his backchat?
Not from a child of mine!
Could never happen to me then
Or at any other time.
Things happen to people
That couldn’t happen to me,
I keep on my guard at all times;
Vigilantly!
See how she got rip off?
She begged for that!
That could never happen to me
And that is a fact.
People get into trouble
A lot more these days
And they don’t ever seem to learn
Crime never pays.
Could never happen to me,
I have far more sense
And if you feel that you have to,
You could take offense.
But I know myself well,
For sure, better than you,
And your experience doesn’t mean
It will happen to me too.
Therefore, I must reiterate
To help you comprehend,
That could never happen to me
And here’s where I end.
