| Can I get a little
|
| Can I get a little wiser
|
| Everyday’s a little
|
| Everyday’s a little nicer ooh
|
| I feel a confidence in me
|
| Oh I wouldn’t change, I wouldn’t change a single thing
|
| I’ve learned to grow instinctively
|
| And without pain then tell me please where would we be
|
| We sometimes make mistakes, but if we’re wise we learn from them
|
| I still recall the days thinking I knew everything
|
| Regrets, we all may have a few
|
| Encounters that weren’t meant to be
|
| If I knew then what I know now
|
| Surely I would not be me
|
| As if it was just yesterday
|
| Oh there’s little me assuming I’ve seen everything
|
| A change to such a big city
|
| And may I say, streetwise wasn’t my middle name
|
| But young and brash convinced I had the whole world on a string
|
| Situations did occur, I lost control, it’s sink or swim
|
| If you want more than I’ll allow
|
| Make promises you cannot keep
|
| I’m glad I’m so much wiser now
|
| Got out before I fell too deep
|
| You hear about it every day
|
| Young girls naïve and lead astray
|
| Obsession with celebrity, wanting to be like her in the magazines |
| There’s always someone who talks the talk, lures you in, and walks the walk
|
| And you, you gotta try your luck, you want to win and make a buck
|
| But in the end you’ve only got yourself this is what I’ve come to see |
