Lyrics Take a Little Pill - Brandy Clark

Take a Little Pill

Mama got depressed
When Daddy was a-dying
So the doctor gave her something
To help her with her crying
Then she couldn’t sleep
So he gave her something else
Now there’s yellow, red and pink
On her bathroom shelf
Says if one don’t work
Then another one will
If you got a little hurt
You take a little pill
Fella down the road
Walks with a limp
He’s a decorated soldier
And a pain pill pimp
Got a loaded gun
And an old pit bull
A black Cadillac
With a whole trunk full
Says if one don’t work
Then another one will
If you got a little hurt
You take a little pill
Lay on your tongue
Ain’t a nerve that can’t be numb
Ain’t a buzz that you can’t buy
Ain’t a low you can’t make high
Til it wears off
Like it always will
And when it does
You take a little pill
Woah
Woah
You don’t need a needle
You don’t need a vein
No burn like whiskey
No cross like cocaine
If you ever lose a lover
Or you wanna lose some weight
What you can’t cure
You can medicate
If one don’t work
Then another one will
If you got a little hurt
You take a little pill
Lay on your tongue
Ain’t a nerve that can’t be numb
Ain’t a buzz that you can’t buy
Ain’t a low you can’t make high
Til it wears off
Like it always will
And when it does
You take a little pill
Woah
Woah
