Words Of Wisdom
“Words of Wisdom”
Momma once said, momma once said
Don’t try, and grow up too fast
Don’t grow up too fast, grow up too fast
You’ll surely be wishing for your innocence back
These years will pass you by, like rushing water
And the shifting sands of time, they will yield no longer
Oh, momma said, my momma said,
Momma said, yeah momma said,
Don’t grow up too fast
Poppa told me, poppa told me
Don’t work too hard, you’ll be working for your life
Don’t work too hard dear, You work too hard
I can see it in your eyes, you are run by your 9 to 5
And life’s too short to let the man pull you under
Get consumed by your working life, you will live no longer
Poppa said, yeah poppa said
Poppa said, yeah poppa said
Don’t work too hard
Ma and Pa, where are you now?
I’m stuck in a rut and I can’t get out.
Your words of wisdom
I need them now
Don’t grow up fast,
Don’t work to hard,
Don’t die young
