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

Through this you learn who you are

You may wish for more than you can hold

It's best to relax and just go with the flow.
