0:15It's not time to make a change
0:18Just relax--take it easy
0:22You're still young--that's your fault
0:26There's so much you have to know
0:29Find a girl settle down
0:33If you want you can marry
0:37Look at me--I am old
0:40But I'm happy
0:44I was once like you are now
0:47And I know that it's not easy
0:51To become when you've found
0:55Something going on
0:58But take your time--think a lot
1:02Think of everthing you've got
1:05For you will still be here tomorrow
1:09But your dreams may not
1:14How can I try to explain
1:21When I do--it turns away again
1:24And it's always been the same
1:28Same old story
1:31From the moment I could talk
1:35I was ordered to listen
1:38Now there's a way and I know
1:42That I have to go away
1:45I know I have to go
2:33It's not time to make a change
2:36Just sit down
2:38And take it slowly
2:40You're still young--that's your fault
2:42There's so much you have to go through
2:47Find a girl settle down
2:50If you want you can marry
2:54Look at me--I am old
2:57But I'm happy
3:01All the times that I've cried
3:04Keeping all the things I knew inside
3:08And it's hard
3:10But it's harder to ignore it
3:15If they were right--I'd agree
3:17But it's them--they know
3:20Not me That I have to go away
It's not time to make a change Just relax--take it easy You're still young--that's your fault There's so much you have to know Find a girl settle down If you want you can marry Look at me--I am old But I'm happy I was once like you are now And I know that it's not easy To become when you've found Something going on But take your time--think a lot Think of everthing you've got For you will still be here tomorrow But your dreams may not How can I try to explain When I do--it turns away again And it's always been the same Same old story From the moment I could talk I was ordered to listen Now there's a way and I know That I have to go away I know I have to go It's not time to make a change Just sit down And take it slowly You're still young--that's your fault There's so much you have to go through Find a girl settle down If you want you can marry Look at me--I am old But I'm happy All the times that I've cried Keeping all the things I knew inside And it's hard But it's harder to ignore it If they were right--I'd agree But it's them--they know Not me That I have to go away
