Sooner Or Later

Pull the hair back from your eyes,

Let the people see your pretty face

Try not to say anything weird

Save your questions without answers,

'Til your old enough to know

That things ain't as they appeared

Before you go out in the sun

Cover your skin and don't get burned

Beware the cancer,

It might kill you when you're old

Be first in line, raise your hand

Remember everything you hear

And playing in the rain is worth catching cold

Sooner or later we'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and

Someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way

We only want what's best for you

That's why we tell you what to do

And nevermind if nothing makes sense

'Cause It all works out in the end

You're just like us without a friend

But you can build a privacy fence (yeah)

Sooner or later we'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and

Someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way

Some things you have to learn

Them all on your own

You can't rely on anybody else

Or the point of view of a source unknown

If it feels good, and sounds nice, then it's your choice

Don't doubt yourself, don't even think twice

Pull the hair back from your eyes,

Let the people see your pretty face

You know they like it when you smile

(Find a reason to smile)

Try not to focus on yourself

Share that love with someone else

Don't let the bitters bring you down (down)

Don't let anything bring you down

Sooner or later we'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and

Someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way
