Lyrics:
A-one two three four one
Yeah
Okay
Don't do it don't you try it baby
Don't do that
Don't don't don't
Don't do that
You got a good thing going now
Don't do it don't do it
Don't
Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives a damn
So you think it's the easy way out?
Think you're gonna slash your wrists
This time
Baby when you do it all you do is
Get on my tits
Don't do that try try try baby
Don't do that -you got a good thing going now
Don't do it don't do it
Don't
Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives a damn
You need help
Look at yourself you need help (yeah, yeah)
You need life
So don't hang yourself
It's okay, okay, okay, okay
You just can't be a prick teaser all of the time
A little bit attention-you got it
Need some affection-you got it
Suicide suicide suicide bid
Suicide suicide suicide bid
Suicide
Don't do it don't do it don't do it babe (yeah)
Don't do it don't do it don't-do it
Hey!
Hey, yeah!
Don't put your neck on the line
Don't drown on me babe
Blow your brains out -
Don't do that (yeah)
Don't do that-you got a good thing going baby
Don't do it (no) don't do it (no) don't
Don't try suicide
Nobody's worth it
Don't try suicide
Nobody cares
Don't try suicide
You're just gonna hate it
Don't try suicide
Nobody gives
Nobody gives
Nobody gives a damn
Okay!

This was the closing theme for a TV documentary I saw (in my teens) in which students in a classroom were asked to cover their faces and raise their hands if they had ever thought of suicide as "the way out." More than half of them raised their hands. This song thus sent the perfect closing message for this show. Thank you, Freddie, for saving so many lives - too bad you couldn't save your own. Rest in peace.

Happiest little anti-suicide song ever!

"Don't try suicide, You're just gonna hate it!"

I love this song, for both of the good reasons, one, anti-suicide = 👍, & two, it sounds good (no shit it’s Queen)

[@mojangles1]

..i think Sting should cover this. am i the only one?

[@janhunt585]

I am shocked by the lyrics. So disappointed.

Jan Hunt Disappointed in 40 year old lyrics? Hold grudge much? This album defined a generation. Live and let live, stay gold, Ponyboy!

Only Freddie could right an upbeat tune about such a dark subject! He wrote his tunes and really did not care how we took them. He was a courageous songwriter!! It must have been a subject he could relate to or he would not have written it! So maybe re evaluate and remember we all express ourselves differently! I think he was trying to be encouraging! But that's my interuputation
