Have you still got the illusion
Of what's lying ahead
Then you'd still have your innocence
And days wouldn't seem so bad

But i've always wondered
Why you've never grown
But now I know

You gotta take a little time for yourself
You gotta live a little life on your own
You gotta take a little time for yourself
It's just what you're needing

Storms always make you happy
But they hide everything inside
Make believe that they're soft to touch
Then they blind you with their light

That has always made me wonder
Why you've never grown
But now, I know

You gotta take a little time for yourself
You gotta live a little life on your own
Yes you gotta take a little time for yourself
It's just what you're needing
I know what you're needing
Yes I do

But i've always wondered
Why you've never grown
And now I know

You gotta take a little time for yourself
You gotta live a little life on your own
Yes, you gotta take a little time for yourself
It's just what you're needing
Oh that's what you're needing yeh

(take a little time for yourself)
Oh take a little time
(live a little life on your own)
Oh live a little life
(take a little time for yourself)
Oh that's what you're needing
Oh that's what you're needing
You gotta take a little time, yeh
Oh live a little life
That's what you're needing
