lyrics

AWOKE WITH SUNSHINE, GOTTA STORY TO TELL
IT´S BEING A LONG LONG WAY
IT´S GONNA BE A BRAND NEW DAY

MAMA TOLD ME TO BE A NICE GIRL
MA´PAPA TOLD ME THE SAME
AND WHAT I´VE LEARNED UNTIL TODAY
IT´S WHAT A FRIEND TOLD ME AND SHE SAID

HONEY TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MAD WORLD
YOU´D BETTER BE ALONE THAN AFRAID
BETTER BE ALONE THAN AFRAID

BETTER BEING ALONE THAN AFRAID (x2)

YOU KNOW IT´S HARD, IT´S HARD TO BE A WOMAN
YOU KNOW IT´S HARD, IT´S HARD I´LL TRY TO PROVE
YOU KNOW WE´VE GOT, WE´VE GOT TO HEAR DAMNED THINGS LIKE YOU´D BETTER BE AT HOME
´CUZ I´M THE MAN, NOT YOU

AM I SUPPOSED TO STAY IN QUIET SILENCE?
AM I SUPPOSED TO SMILE AND START TO COOK?
WELL I QUITE SURE THAT WE INTIMIDATE YOU
´CUZ OUR CAPACITY TO WORK IT REALLY GOOD

MAMA TOLD ME TO BE A NICE GIRL
MA´PAPA TOLD ME THE SAME
AND WHAT I´VE LEARNED UNTIL TODAY
IT´S WHAT A FRIEND TOLD ME AND SHE SAID

HONEY TAKE A LOOK AT THIS MAD AND CRAZY WORLD
YOU´D BETTER BE ALONE THAN AFRAID

BETTER BEING ALONE THAN AFRAID (x2)
