When I'm giving advice to others

I take more than I can give

It's a birds eye view

What I want you to do or how to live And I really don't have to suffer

I still do it anyway

I'm a diamond in the rough

Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay Guess what I lost my job

It's just my luck Reveal you've always been the actor

With those puppy dog eyes

Well one of y'all is telling the truth

The other one is lies It's someone else's fault so often

You getting rude, getting tall

It's a great big world

Darling your translations is just a little off So what, you made a mistake

You try to hide the time

The time is life

Gets a little bit larger everyday

It grows

Gets out of control I've been giving my advice to others

I try to tell them how to live

A little lying, a bit of truth

What I'd like for you to do and how to give And I really didn't need to suffer

Still did it anyway

What a great big world

I better find some way to stay Guess what you're getting old

Still gotta grow up
