lyrics

They’re gonna get to love you, love you
And we’re gonna get someone to take care of you, of you
Don’t you wanna try
Don’t you wanna maybe
Don’t you wanna try
Don’t you wanna baby

Who you gonna get to
To love you, to love you, love you
If you were a smart girl you would get someone to take care of you, of you
Don’t you wanna try like the others
Take a look around and maybe you could be a mother
Don’t you wanna wait to please ‘cuz maybe you’ll get down on your knees

Oh, you can waste your time
Or you can blame your life

In another way, I can be a light
In another way I can be a light for all those who doubt

Don’t you wanna try to make a little light
Shine a little way
And maybe you change or maybe you could get some
Don’t you wanna try to make a little light on everybody’s life
On everybody’s time
