oh girl you think you got time

you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line

but one step, two step, you fall behind

so you better have a good plan

oh girl you think you got time

you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line

but I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind

you're still gonna need a man

take it from your grandmother I've been 'round

no one's gonna take care of you

in that world you've got yourself into

all the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school

oh girl your story's all wrong

your dream'll be a nightmare before too long

turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs

come on who do you think you are

oh girl it's too heavy a load

your mama and your baba they are worried souls

how you gonna raise a family when you're on the road

with some tattooed boy with a guitar

take it from your grandmother I've been 'round

this music career isn't real life

it won't see you through to when you're sixty-five

when the tide turns you won't survive

you'll sit on the banks and cry

oh girl you've never know war

when they come in the night and knock on the door

you can go from the high life to dirty poor

and lose everything you knew

but the one thing they can't take away from you

is your mind and the education you've been through

o you find a man who understands that too

make sure that he stays true

gives respect where its due

make sure he knows what he's got in you

because a woman isn't just for cooking meals

scrubbing floors, making babies

a woman's got ambitions same as he does

maybe more

when the sirens wailed and the bombs fell

we ran from the schoolyard into hell

and what we could've been time will never tell

'cause we never had your chances

the adtages that you've been handed

take it from your grandmother I've been 'round
