wise words

(album: Rachel@Pianoland - 2022)

Relinquish pride, it's no good for you
Hang up your coat and your attitude
I've got no time, for your midweek blues
There, there
I've got only good intentions
Hold still, whilst I fix your imperfections

Dream long, my only one
I'm the woman you've been meaning to depend on
Come, listen to my wisdom
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Come, step into my kingdom, baby
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

It's your turn to ride on my silver tongue
I'll spin a web for you to sleep on
Straight from the mouth of siren song
Wise words from my lips I'll pass on
Cool air from my lungs I'll blow on

Now dream long, my only one
I'm the woman you've been meaning to depend on
Come, listen to my wisdom
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Come, step into my kingdom, baby
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

I know I underestimate just living in the moment
But the remedy to life's made up of lots of small components
And all of your flaws, no matter how beautiful
Are still flaws

Listen to my wisdom
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Come, step into my kingdom, baby
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Come, listen to my wisdom
And I'll teach you how to be a better man
