[Verse 1]From the girl in my dreams and I knew about
the hood had a little baby life was all good got a
call that something was wrong.
.? next thing I know I was back to my own ways going
out till they came and took me away now everything
I worked for is gone.. gone...
[Chrous]Ohhhhh
I wish I would have turned away
I would still be free today
It don't pay to be the hero
Ohhhhh
should have looked into my babys eyes
Before I took another mans life
It don't pay to be the hero
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
I lost you just like that
I wish that we could turn around (I wish that we could turn around)
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
I lost you just like that (lost you just like that..)
I wish that we could turn around (I wish that we could turn around..)
[Verse 2]Don't know why it was so had to let the life go
I was here wasn't thinking about my family at home
And how much they depended on me.
. Now I'm looking at 20 years of no more roads I'm
not gonna get the chance to see my baby girl,
whats she gonna think about her daddy... Daaddy....yo....
[Chrous]Ohhhhh
I wish I would have turned away
I would still be free today
It don't pay to be the hero
Ohhhhh
should have looked into my babys eyes
Before I took another mans life

It don't pay to be the hero
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
I lost you just like that (no no no noo...)
I wish that we could turn around (I wish that we could turn around)
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
I lost you just like that
I wish that we could turn around
[Bridge]So many nights I don't sleep (nights I don't sleep)
Coz I think about the things that I've seen.. (Things That I've Seen)
It was really driving me crazy.
. See the glass separates my familly from me..
[Chrous]Ohh Ohh Ohhhhhh
I wish I would have turned away (I wish I would have turned away)
I would still be free today (I would still be free today)
It don't pay to be the hero (don't pay to be the hero)
Ohhhhh
should have looked into my babys eyes
(should have looked into my babys eyes)
Before I took another mans life (Before I took another mans life)
It don't pay to be the hero (It don't pay to be the heroooo..wooh..)
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
I lost you just like that (I lost you just like that)
I wish that we could turn around (I wish that we could turn arounddd....)
There ain't nothing I can say to bring you back
(nothing I can say to bring you back)
I lost you just like that (I lost you just,

I wish that we could turn around
