|
When I'm giving advice to others |
|
I take more than |
|
I can give |
|
It's a birds eye view of what |
|
I want you to do or how to live |
|
And I really don't have to suffer |
|
I still do it anyway |
|
I'm a diamond in the rough or |
|
I'm a dirt clod in the clay |
|
Guess what |
|
I lost my job |
|
It's just my luck |
|
Reveal you've always been the actor and those puppy dog eyes |
|
Well one of y'alls tellin' the truth the other one is lying |
|
And it's someone else's fault so often |
|
You're gettin' rude, you're gettin' tall it's a great big world darlin' your translation is just a little off. |
|
So what, You made a mistake |
|
You try to hide the time |
|
The time is life |
|
Gets a little bit larger everyday |
|
And it grows till it's out of control |
|
I've been giving my advice to others trying to tell them how to live |
|
A little lying, a bit of truth what |
|
I'd like for you to do and how to give |
|
And I really didn't need to suffer |
|
I still did it anyway |
|
What a great big world |
|
I better find some way to stay |
|
Guess what? |
|
You're gettin' old |
|
Still gotta grow up. |
