Save your questions without answers
‘Til you’re old enough to know
That things ain’t as they appeared.

Before you go out in the sun,
Cover your skin and don’t get burned.
Beware the cancer — it might kill you when you’re old.

Be first in line, raise your hand,
Remember everything you hear —
That playing in the rain is worth catching cold.

Sooner or later,
We’ll be looking back on everything;
We’ll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening.
Someday you might listen to what people have to say;
Now, you learn the hard way.

We only want what’s best for you,
That’s why we tell you what to do —
Never mind if nothing makes sense.

‘Cause it all works out in the end,
You’re just like us without a friend —
But you can build a privacy fence.

Yeah, sooner or later,
We’ll be looking back on everything;
We’ll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening.
And someday you might listen to what people have to say;
Now, you learn the hard way.
Yeah, now you learn the hard way.

Some things, you have to learn them all on your own:
You can’t rely on anybody else,
Or the point of view of a source unknown.

If it feels good, and sounds nice,
Then it’s your choice, so don’t doubt yourself —
Don’t even think twice.

Pull the hair back from your eyes,
Let the people see your pretty face.
You know they like it when you smile (Find a reason to smile)

Try not to focus on yourself,
Share that love with someone else.
Don’t let the bitters bring you down, down.
Don’t let anything bring you down.
