Butterfly Woman

Butterfly woman, only talk is cheap So I'll show you how to walk and I'll give you the beat Butterfly woman took me by the hand She said first you're gonna have to learn to stand Learn to stand, mmm Butterfly woman said listen to me I'll give you everything you need to live free Butterfly woman said here is the truth What don't make you still will help you move Help you move, will help you move And then she said hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh So many people here just talk the talk Try to know when to love and know when to walk Coming here you know I've seen it all What don't make you strong will make you fall Will make you fall, will make you fall In this life I am the one that chose The only way to change is by growing old What I am to you may look weak I'm as strong as the ground on which I sleep On which I sleep, on which I sleep, oh oh oh And then she said hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh (oh oh oh) Long ago before my hair turned gray And my spine was bowed from the weight of days Both my hips widened to bear the load I thought that I could never grow old But love has given me more, it seems Than riches and worries that train and breed And though my youth has wandered far and wide These skinny old legs still don't break stride Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Hey ya, oh, hey ya, hey ya Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh
