Grain Of Rice Lyrics

They're messing with my mind

Everybody else seems fine

Saying my quarter's only worth a dime

They tried to tell me that my heart don't stand a chance

Don't speak for me I know this dance

I want to put a notion in your head

While I lie awake in bed

Take one hard look at yourself and see

And I'm not preachin and you're fine to lean on me

Step off that pedestal oh please

And I end up wondering

How much more that I can take

Better be a hell lot more boy

For goodness sakes

She tried to tell me, can't always be perfect

It's more than I bargaind for but it's still worth it

It's in your soul babe relinquish all control

I should take my own advice

Not make a mountain of a grain of rice

All of this depends on me

And I how choose to view everything I see

They're messing with my mind

Taking up all my time

Saying my quarters only worth a dime

They tried to tell me son hey two plus two is five

Makes sense to me yeah that sounds right

I wanna put a notion in your head

While I lie awake in bed

Take one hard look at yourself and see

There must be something goin around this time of year

But what it is just ain't too clear

And I end up wondering

What the hell that I should do

Take it as it comes to you boy

Think fast and see it through

She tried to tell me, warn me of my ways

Day by day I make the same mistakes

It's in your soul babe relinquish all control

I should take my own advice

Not make a mountain of a grain of rice

All of this depends on me

And how I choose to view everything I see
