When i was a little girl You set me on your knee And taught me all about All the ways that I should be Then I grew up and went out on my own And learned the way to live is to love and let go Cause you don't always get what you want But through this we learn who we are You may wish for more than you can hold It's best to relax and just go with the flow Can you see us here The world is so fast I'm always tryin to slow down And make it last I'm learning everyday All the lessons you must know That all that really matters is how much you Love Cause you don't always get what you want But through this we learn who we are You may wish for more than you can hold It's best to relax and just go with the flow
