Making the most of the time that you have   Has never been easy,   But you're getting better.   I know, I know.      Doing your best is enough   If you don't know your potential.   With no expectations   you can't go wrong.      I tried to warn you, but it looks like I was wrong.   So I'm glad you weren't home.   so you did not hear the phone.      Now you're up against it,   Time is running out,   And your little lady wants a car and a house.   Style is taking over.   Everybody knows the songs are on their way out.      I tried to warn you, but it looks like I was wrong.   I called to beg you not to write that stupid song.   But as it happens now it's burning up the charts   And breaking hot girls' hearts   As it masquerades as art.
