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 be calm when you've found something going on

But take your time, think a lot

Think of everything you've got

For you will still be here tomorrow but your dreams may not

Oh, how can I try to explain?

'Cause when I do he turns away again

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, 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 am happy

All the times that I've cried

Keepin' all the things I knew inside

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

Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

I know I have to go
