lyrics

PRACTICING HISTORY by K. Dennis

I've got to practice my history
Before I get involved with you
I've got to practice my history
I've had too many Waterloos

I'm gonna check out my past and all the lovers I've known
Check out my past and see where each love went wrong
Check out my because I want to be strong

And I can't repeat my history
When I look back it's clear to see
I can't repeat my history
There's certain scenes I can't believe ever happened to me

I'm gonna practice my history
Don't need no personal Vietnam (or Iraq/Afghanistan)
Something that's costly and hopeless
And just refuses to be won

I'm gonna check out my past and all the lovers I've had
Check out my past and see where each love went sad
Check out my past because I want this one bad

And I can't repeat my history
When I look back it's clear to see
I can't repeat my history
There's certain scenes I can't believe ever happened to me
