I Would If I Could

歌詞

Everybody's asking When you gonna pick up your life Everybody's saying Isn't it about time you took yourself a wife You're such a lucky kid Such a lucky kid You had everything you wanted to take Sun and moon and the stars that shine for you Now you're spitting on you lucky breaks, well That's the way it's been That's the way it's going That's the way it's been That's the way it's going Everybody's singing Singing my praises so high They don't know what they're saying What they're saying They think my rivers can never run dry It's not the way I planned it Like you can't grow flowers from every plant Though I'd love to set this world on fire Well, I would if I could but I can't (chorus) Great expectations from me an my mouth Well, you sure know by now .. to decide Looking through you like a dog looks to a man But in a bad sense sometimes Will they understand Will they understand Everybody's thinking Everybody's thinking the same Why can't I move up closer Little closer up to my aim Same thing stopping me Is the same thing stopping everybody else You friend were fools With good intentions About timing and a lack of good health Say you're seventeen Say you're seventeen And you've got no sense Well, if you ask me That's best way that you could be Like you're innocent But yet you're the best Gone, gone, gone Let's go Well, you had the game But then you wanted more And now you have more pain Than what you're asking for You've been thinking too fast And you've been moving too slow And that's the way Your chances go
