Mr. Time

The older I get the less I feel like I'm sure of

So when I was 16, I knew who I was gon' marry

I knew what I thought about God

I knew what my religion of choice was

You know what I'm saying?

I knew when I wanted kids

I knew what age I was gonna win a Grammy

I knew everything

And now that I'm here

I know very little

Well don't you know I'm just accepting my parents divorce?

And really I'm still mad about it

If I'm jealous of the Cosby's still that's a dead horse

But there's things I wish I'd had about it

I ain't been to church in weeks and it ain't that I refuse

And I pray god know I haven't changed my mind

It's just hard for me to agree with the folk in the pews

About my atheist friend when he dies

Hey, where you going Mr. Time?

Hey, what you doing with my life?

My friends are getting married and I wonder if they're sure

But who gives a damn if I agree

When I've rehearsed my first name by the last name

Of a couple men who are now just strangers to me

I pray that I have babies while my daddy's still young at heart

Then maybe he can teach them how to swim

But it's unlikely when I'm so highly frightened of being alone

So if I do I hope their daddy's not like him

Hey, where you going Mr. Time?

Hey, what you doing with my life?

Hey, where you going Mr. Time

Hey, what you doing with my life?

Hey, where you going Mr. Time?

Hey, what you doing with my life?

Hey, where you going Mr. Time?

Hey, what you doing with my life?

What you doing with my life?

What you doing with my life?
