Don't Assume

Verse 1

You said my plan was foolproof

I nodded right along

You built the whole assumption

Off a story I got wrong

Now the party's over

And the cake is on the floor

I guess we both found out what happens

When you knock on the wrong door

Chorus

'Cause when you assume

You make an ass of you and me

Two fools in a fancy boat

Sailing off the sea

I thought I knew the answer

You swore you held the key

And when you assume

You make an ass of you and me

Verse 2

I figured you were leaving

You figured I would stay

We both picked the wrong road

On the same exact old day

I packed a bag for winter

You booked a ticket south

We argued like we knew it all

With nothing in our mouth

Chorus

'Cause when you assume

You make an ass of you and me

Two fools in a fancy boat

Sailing off the sea

I thought I knew the answer

You swore you held the key

And when you assume

You make an ass of you and me

Bridge

So next time I'm not guessing

And I won't take the bait

I'll ask the silly question

Before it is too late

'Cause maybe- maybe

Maybe we could be okay

Chorus

'Cause when you assume

You make an ass of you and me

Two fools in a fancy boat

Sailing off the sea

I thought I knew the answer

You swore you held the key

And when you assume

You make an ass of you and me
