. It kinda hit me yesterday That you'll grow up like me someday But we're not yet there There comes a time when you don't know Only you know better You make decisions on your own You will make it better But we're still here . Whatever they do, whatever they say, Leave it tonight and go your own way And then you'll sing, you'll do your own thing. Believe me when I say so, I want you to know how things can feel Keep you away from what is out there, I wanna prepare you on for what's real You'll get by and get it your way, Whatever they do Whatever they do . I tell you almost everyday Just how much I love you You just smile and walk away You know I have to We'll be fine . Whatever they do, whatever they say, Leave it tonight and go your own way And then you'll sing, you'll do your thing. Believe me when I say so, I want you to know how things can feel Keep you away from what is out there, I wanna prepare you on for what's real You'll get by and get it your way, Whatever they do Whatever they do . Whatever they do, whatever they say, Leave it tonight and go your own way And then you'll sing, you'll do your thing. Believe me when I say so, I want you to know how things can feel Keep you away from what is out there, I wanna prepare you on for what's real You'll get by and get it your way, Whatever they do Whatever they do Whatever they do Whatever they do .
