Sooner or Later

Pull the hair back from your eyes

Let the people see your pretty face

And try not to say anything weirdSave your questions without answers

'Til your old enough to know

That things ain't as they appearedBefore you go out in the sun

Cover your skin and don't get burned

Beware the cancer, it might kill you when you're oldBe first in line, raise your hand

Remember everything you hear

And playing in the rain is worth catching coldSooner or later

We'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening

And someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard wayWe only want what's best for you

That's why we tell you what to do

And never mind if nothing makes sense'Cause it all works out in the end

You're just like us without a friend

But you can build a privacy fence, yeahSooner or later

We'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening

And someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way, yeah now you learn the hard waySomethings you have to learn them all on your own

You can't rely on anybody else

Or the point of view of a source unknownIf it feels good and sounds nice

Then it's your choice

Don't doubt yourself, don't even think twicePull the hair back from your eyes

Let the people see your pretty face

You know they like it when you smile, find a reason to smileTry not to focus on yourself

Share that love with someone else

Don't let the bitters bring you down, down

Don't let anything bring you downSooner or later

We'll be lookin' back on everything

And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening

And someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard waySomeday you might listen to what people have to say

Someday you might listen to what people have to say

Now you learn the hard way, yeah, now you learn the hard way
