Lyrics Race Against Time - CeeLo Green

Race Against Time

Nobody lives forever
So come on let’s have some fun
And I want a happy ending
Just like everyone wants one
And life would be sweeter
If we all had somewhere we could run
Oh, but don’t you dare tell me what can’t be done
They say you don’t have to grow up
But you’ve got to grow older
It only hurts when I laugh, you see
I’ll always be young
I’ll always be young in my mind
But I’m racing against the time
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
Ah, nevermind the mirror in your room
Be who you feel
And th ground’s under your feet
But you won’t get ther standing still
Peak and valley is a promise
But don’t you stop until
Oh, and I’ll make it, yes, I’ll make it, yes, I will
Had a fight with my father time
About my mother’s nature
That meant I’m destiny’s child
You see, I’ll always be young
I’ll always be young in my mind
But I’m racing against the time
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah) Yeah
(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah) Ooh wee
(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)
(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah) Come on, children
(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)
(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)
Ah, one, two, three, do it
(Ah) Ah (Ah) Yeah (Ah) Yeah (Ah) Ah (Ah)
(Ah)
Racing against the time
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
But I won’t keep any secrets from you, baby
I’m a sinner, yes, I am
And I may have lost your war of words
But baby, I’m still a winner, yeah
Does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean
That it is isn’t in you?
Looking good but you aren’t that great of a pretender
When everything is said and done
I’ll be alive in my only son
And I’ll be there when his son has one, yeah
So I’ll always be young
Said I’ll always be young in my mind
Oh, said I’m racing against the time, yes
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
Yes, yeah now
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
Ooh ooh, racing against the time
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
Oh yeah, mmm, racing, yeah yeah
(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)
Yeah
