Have you still got the illusion Of what's lying ahead Then you'd still have your innocence And days wouldn't seem so bad But i've always wondered Why you've never grown But now I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own You gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing Storms always make you happy But they hide everything inside Make believe that they're soft to touch Then they blind you with their light That has always made me wonder Why you've never grown But now, I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own Yes you gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing I know what you're needing Yes I do But i've always wondered Why you've never grown And now I know You gotta take a little time for yourself You gotta live a little life on your own Yes, you gotta take a little time for yourself It's just what you're needing Oh that's what you're needing yeh (Take a little time for yourself) Oh take a little time (Live a little life on your own) Oh live a little life (Take a little time for yourself) Oh that's what you're needing Oh that's what you're needing You gotta take a little time, yeh Oh live a little life That's what you're needing
