Little While - LAUNDRY DAY, Simone

I like to think that I am reckless

I like the way that I forget I’m just a fish in this big sea

I like to think that I’m so helpless

But in the end we all the same and I ain’t going through it

My daddy said he liked the album

My sister’s got another album on the way

My grandma told me I’ll be somethin

My mama turned me into something

Straight from nothing, listen

Livin' in a world so small

Great big things, haven’t seen 'em all

Oh, one day I’ll be ten feet tall

But not for a little while

Spent 16 years in the same old room

Makin' records for the heck of «it'll pay off soon»

I been waterin', and waterin' the flowers gon' bloom

But not for a little while

I bet the music drives you crazy

I bet your friends made up a story

Now you’re curious about me

They only take in what they wanna

And they can hit me, but the minute I hit back?

Apologies

There ain’t no truth in second chances

I’ve given all of me and everything to people who don’t change

I laugh it out, cause it’s no problem

They’ll be expecting front row seats and meet and greets, but listen

Livin' in a world so small

Great big things, haven’t seen em all

Oh, one day I’ll be ten feet tall

But not for a little while

Spent 16 years in the same old room

Makin' records for the heck of «it'll pay off soon»

I been waterin', and waterin' the flowers gon' bloom

But not for a little while

Livin' in a world so small (livin' in a world)

Great big things, haven’t seen em all

Oh, one day I’ll be ten feet tall

But not for a little while (not for little while)

Spent 16 years in the same old room

Makin' records for the heck of «it'll pay off soon» (pay off soon)

I been waterin', and waterin' the flowers gon' bloom

But not for a little while (not for a little while)

Not for a little while

Not for a little while

Not for a little while

Not for a little while
