When Im giving advice to others
I take more than I can give
This birds eye view
Of what I want you to do learn how to live
And I really dont have to suffer
I still do it anyway
Im a diamond in the rough
Or Im a dirt clod in the clay
Guess what? I lost my job
Its just my luck
Reveal youve always been the actor
With those puppy dog eyes
Well one of yall is telling the truth
The other one is lying
Its someone elses fault so often
Youre getting rude, youre getting tall
Its a great big world
your translations just a little off
So what, I made a mistake
to try to hiiide the tiny
The tiniest lie
gets a little bit larger everyday
It grows, til its out of control
Ive been giving my advice to others
I try to tell them how to live
A little lying, a bit of truth
Is what Id like for you to do and how to give
And I really didnt need to suffer
Still did it anyway
What a great big world
I better find some way to stay
Guess what? youre getting old
Still gotta grow up
