A Little More Homework - Ariana Grande, 13 Original Broadway Cast, Graham Phillips

If you stand here behind me

And you call me a man

And you’re counting on me to come through

You should know that I’ll give you

The best that I can

But we all have a little more homework to do

If you’re walking beside me

And you want to be friends

You should know I’m depending on you

So you gotta hang in there

'Til the whole story ends

'Cause we all have a little more homework to do

And I’ve been looking in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn’t chime

But I’m not ready to put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didn’t get

I need a little less pressure

And a little more time

I am trying to follow

I am trying to lead

I am trying to find what is true

But if you’re gonna stand with me

Then you have to concede

That we all have a little more homework to do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day

Turns to day turns to day

You get a little bit older, a little bit taller

A little bit better, a little bit

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day

And the days before all go too fast

You can’t hold on

So you go

Day turn to day turns to day turns to day

Turns to day turns to day

And I’m a little bit older, a little bit stronger

A little bit smarter —

A little bit

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day

Turns to day

And the days ahead comin' on so quick

You can’t get out of the way

You keep runnin'

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day

Turns to day turns to day

And I’m a little bit older, a little bit faster

A little bit closer, a little bit

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day

And the sky goes blue and the sky goes black

And no matter what you do, you can’t go back!

You go day into day into day…

I turned thirteen, my parents got divorced.

And I moved from New York City to

the middle of nowhere

Day into day into day

I turned thirteen, and I kissed a boy.

More than once!

I turned thirteen and signed a virginity pledge

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

I was diagnosed with an eating disorder

I failed math.

But we won the championship!

And I’m a little bit braver, a little bit broader

A little bit brighter, a little bit…

I turned thirteen and I had to have spinal cord surgery.

God, that sucked

Day turns to day turns to day

I got busted for driving my Dad’s pickup

Day turns to day turns to day!

I got drunk!

And I’ve been lookin' in the back of the book for the answers

Hoping the bell wouldn’t chime

My parents split up

But I’m not ready to put down my pencil just yet

There are too many answers that I didn’t get

I need a little less pressure

And a little more time

I am trying to follow

I am trying to lead

I am trying to learn what is true

I am trying to be what you want and I need

And we all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework

We all have a little more homework

To do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

A little more homework to do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

A little more homework to do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

A little more homework to do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…

A little more homework to do

Day turns to day turns to day turns to day turns to day…
