[Verse 1]
Listen to what I say, boy
Things ain't always better your way
Trying hard just to get in but you don't wanna hear what I say

[Verse 2]
Well you don't say
You're digging yourself further in
If you don't get your head out the sky
You know you don't have to tell me again
'Cause baby I can think for myself, yeah, and that is why I'm with you

[Verse 3]
Listen to what I say boy
Seems like I am jetting away
You take my innards and squeeze them
To mold them just like I wasn't there
Well you don't say
I am not trying to prove you wrong
You know I'll always listen to you
But I don't know what I'm trying to say
Baby I'll always stand by you
But things ain't always better your way

[Verse 4]
Listen to what I say boy
Think your head is way above me
It's time to get down off your tree and bring it back where it should be
Well you don't say
I am not trying to prove you wrong
You know I'll always listen to you
But I don't know what I'm trying to say
Baby I'll always stand by you
But things ain't always better your way
Things ain't always better your way
Things ain't always better your way
Oh no! Things ain't always better your way
