If I Ever Get Around to Living

If I ever get around to living

I'm gonna put my things away

In the drawers and in the closets

And there I'll stay

Stay

If I ever get around to living

It's gonna be just like I dreamed

I'm gonna take the love I'm given

And set it free

Free

If I ever get around to living

I'll take the end of every day

Tie it up to every morning

And sail away

Away

Free

Free

Maybe it's all a dream I'm havin' at seventeen

I don't have tattoos

And very soon, mother will be callin' me

Sayin', "Come upstairs, you've got some work to do"

When you gonna wise up boy?

When you gonna wise up boy?

When you gonna wise up boy?

When you gonna wise up boy?

You are hiding in your mind

Working all the time

Trying to make it better than you got it

And you been spending all your time

Searching for a sign

That's never gonna love the way you want it

I think you better wise up boy

I think you better wise up boy

I think you better wise up boy

I think you better wise up boy

I think you better wise up boy
