You look pretty in your fancy dress But I detect unhappiness You never speak so I have to guess You’re not free.
There, maybe when you’re old enough You’ll realize you’re not so tough And some days the seas get rough And you’ll see
You’re too young to have it figured out You think you know what you’re talking about You think it will all work itself out But we’ll see
When I was young I thought I knew You probably think you know too Do you? Well do you? I was naïve just like you I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do Well, what’s you gonna do?
And how have you gotten by so far Without having a visible scar? No one knows who you really are They can’t see
What’s you gonna do (what’s you gonna do) What’s you gonna do now What’s you gonna do (what’s you gonna do) What’s you gonna do now What’s you gonna do (what’s you gonna do) What’s you gonna do now What’s you gonna do (what’s you gonna do) What’s you gonna do now What’s you gonna do now
The only way you’ll ever learn a thing Is to admit that you know absolutely nothing Oh nothing Think about this carefully You might not get another chance to speak freely Oh freely
Maybe when you’re old enough Maybe when you’re old enough Maybe when you’re old enough You’re not free You’re not free
