I keep an eye on myself all the time
I only close one eye when I sleep
I keep the other one open all the time
Even when you seem to think my sleep is deep
Deep, deep, deep, deep
I keep myself on a leash all the time
Even when you think I'm running wild
I tell myself now don't you run so fast
I tell myself girl, don't be such a child
Child, child, child, child
I have a list of rules up in my head
I think them through in bed before I rise
Even so you seem to think I'm out of line
Even so you seem to think I need advise
Advise, advise
Your advice, advice
I have a way of falling down from grace
I have a way of tripping now and then
But don't forget they say you learn from you mistakes
I wanna learn and if not now then baby
When, when, when, when, when
(I wanna learn and if not now then baby, when)
When, when
Tell me when, when
I only close one eye when I sleep
I keep the other one open all the time
Even when you seem to think my sleep is deep
Deep, deep, deep, deep
I keep myself on a leash all the time
Even when you think I'm running wild
I tell myself now don't you run so fast
I tell myself girl, don't be such a child
Child, child, child, child
I have a list of rules up in my head
I think them through in bed before I rise
Even so you seem to think I'm out of line
Even so you seem to think I need advise
Advise, advise
Your advice, advice
I have a way of falling down from grace
I have a way of tripping now and then
But don't forget they say you learn from you mistakes
I wanna learn and if not now then baby
When, when, when, when, when
(I wanna learn and if not now then baby, when)
When, when
Tell me when, when
