Younger

I was younger just the other day

Stuck in summer, nothing in my way

Now I'm older, taking in the change

I was a fool no more

I'll never be a fool no more

Someone said to me the other day

Change, girl, change, girl, change is a welcome thing

I was static, in a washed up place

Had the black on my eyes on my face

Wined and dined, and then hung out to dry

Hurt me more than my ex guy

I've been slept on, I've been dreamt on

But I woke up from you

I've been patient, I've been waiting

But it's high time you knew

Won't let blind faith lead me no more

I'll keep my eyes wide, counting my score

I was younger just the other day

Stuck in summer, nothing in my way

Now I'm older, taking in the change

I was a fool no more

I'll never be a fool no more

Pillow-talking in my ear

Top-floor promises I hear

I took the stairs, you didn't elevate me

I see snakes, I see crooks

Brought the charm, bit the hooks

And you dipped and you left me crazy

And your words don't stick like they used to

Oh, they slide off my back

And if it's change that you want

Then it's change that you'll have

I've been slept on, I've been dreamt on

But I woke up from you

I've been patient, I've been waiting

But it's high time you knew

Won't let blind faith lead me no more

I'll keep my eyes wide, counting my score

I was younger just the other day

Stuck in summer, nothing in my way

Now I'm older, taking in the change

I was a fool no more

I'll never be a fool no more
