That's How You Got Killed Before Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see 

Now do like EC and let those ladies be 

You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong 

Boy, you better get control - that's how you got killed before 

That girl you just met who got a big guy for a pal 

Who'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal 

So take it steady, man, let those women go 

Well, I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before 

Now, you wouldn't listen, Ephrom, you got two black eyes 

That's what you get, Daddy, for messing with men's wives 

So take it steady, whoa, let those women go 

Well, I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before
