[00:08.00]
[00:09.47]oh girl you think you got time
[00:11.95]you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line
[00:14.49]but one step, two step, you fall behind
[00:16.82]so you better have a good plan
[00:18.74]
[00:19.49]oh girl you think you got time
[00:21.44]you're gonna get 'round to it way down the line
[00:23.58]but I'm telling you no matter what you have in mind
[00:26.09]you're still gonna need a man
[00:27.85]
[00:28.67]take it from your grandmother I've been 'round
[00:37.71]no one's gonna take care of you
[00:39.71]in that world you've got yourself into
[00:41.80]all the good boys, oh baby they're in grad school
[00:46.38]
[00:47.29]oh girl your story's all wrong
[00:49.48]your dream'll be a nightmare before too long
[00:51.69]turning thirty and still trying to sing your songs
[00:53.96]come on who do you think you are
[00:55.96]
[00:56.72]oh girl it's too heavy a load
[00:58.73]your mama and your baba they are worried souls
[01:01.01]how you gonna raise a family when you're on the road
[01:03.22]with some tattooed boy with a guitar
[01:05.23]
[01:06.10]take it from your grandmother I've been 'round
[01:14.77]this music career isn't real life
[01:17.05]it won't see you through to when you're sixty-five
[01:19.50]when the tide turns you won't survive
[01:22.42]you'll sit on the banks and cry
[01:32.99]
[01:50.58]oh girl you've never know war
[01:54.03]when they come in the night and knock on the door
[01:56.12]you can go from the high life to dirty poor
[01:58.52]and lose everything you knew
[02:00.74]
[02:01.48]but the one thing they can't take away from you
[02:03.62]is your mind and the education you've been through
[02:05.80]o you find a man who understands that too
[02:07.96]make sure that he stays true
[02:11.52]gives respect where its due
[02:13.96]make sure he knows what he's got in you
[02:18.11]
[02:18.91]because a woman isn't just for cooking meals
[02:21.29]scrubbing floors, making babies
[02:23.69]a woman's got ambitions same as he does
[02:26.17]maybe more
[02:27.77]
[02:28.40]when the sirens wailed and the bombs fell
[02:30.80]we ran from the schoolyard into hell
[02:32.89]and what we could've been time will never tell
[02:34.92]'cause we never had your chances
[02:37.39]the advantages that you've been handed
[02:44.28]
[03:10.56]take it from your grandmother I've been 'round
[03:20.63]
