bad potato

I've got a message for you

it's right here on my computer screen

the words may be weird and strange

but I'm sure you know what they mean

so listen to my words of wisdom'

let them penetrate your mind

if you follow my sage advice

you don't know what you could find

          don't be such a bad potato

          watch out you don't lose your peel

          don't be such a bad potato

          show me how you really feel

you don't like to be criticized

and I know that, I really do

but there's so much room for potential'

that I see inside of you

you're always right, you're never wrong

you're not the one to blame

I can see you've changed the rules

behind your losing game

          don't be such a bad potato

          watch out you don't lose your appeal

          don't be such a bad potato

          show me how you really feel

before I go, I have to tell you

you ought to do your best

just do the work and don't get hurt

time will take care of the rest

everybody knows that you can do it

you can try it on for size

better than being a bad potato

waiting to be turned into fries

          don't be such a bad potato

          watch out you don't lose your peel

          don't be such a bad potato

          show me how you really feel
