In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
In the parts we play to convince others
We know what we're doing, we're doing it right
May have written books on the subject, but then you may still be surprised
By your tone over the phone, to your sister while waiting in line
At the shopping mall just outside of town
Oh-hoo,
oh-hoo,
oh-hoo
Oooh
(Same chords as the last verse)
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo, laa-da-da-da
Oh-hoo
Oooh (2x)
We tell yourself you are must be what you be
Who's to say who is who and what is what if you simply don't agree, now
Time will come to claim you, and it will have its way
Don't make no mistakes and don't regret
Don't waste the time that is left
And then do it all With a goddamn smile
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Laa-la-la, laa-la-la
Laa-la-la
Laa-ah-aah (2x)
In the hearts of men, in the arms of mothers
In the parts we play to convince others
