Lyrics
Life's too short
Can't waste time
You need to
Make up your mind
You like it
Where it stands
Keeping me
Close at hand
Lips speak
Such sweet words
But actions speak louder
You heard
Listen to what
I say
Put out
Or go away
You take each day
One day at a time
And you deal
Moment by moment
I plan each day
With ev'ry second of time
Just a little uptight
But I try not to show it
Then you tell me
And you keep tellin' me
And you keep tellin' me
Go with the flow
Life's too short
Can't waste time
You need to
Make up your mind
You like it
Where it stands
Keeping me
Close at hand
Lips speak
Such sweet words
But actions speak louder
You heard
Listen to what
I say
Put out
Or go away
You say that I
Am so impatient
You think there's
All the time in the world
I think that you
Must see my reasons
To pass this up
Would be absurd
Then you tell me
And you keep tellin' me
And you keep tellin' me
Go with the flow
But sometimes
It drives me crazy
But sometimes
It drives me crazy
