If I Ever Get Around To Living

If I ever get around to living

I'm going to put my things away

In the drawers and in the closets

There I'll stay

Stay

If I ever get around to living

It's going to be just like I dreamed

I'm going to take the love I'm given

And set it free

Free

If I ever get around to living

I'll take the end of every day

Tie it up to every morning

And sail away

Away

Free

Free

Maybe it's all a dream I'm having at 17

I don't have tattoos

And very soon, mother will be calling me

Saying, "Come upstairs, you've got some work to do"

When are you going to wise up boy?

When are you going to wise up boy?

When are you going to wise up boy?

When are you going to wise up boy?

You are hiding in your mind

Working all the time

Trying to make it better than you got it

And you been spending all your time

Searching for a sign

That's never going to look the way you want it

I think you better wise up, boy

I think you better wise up, boy

I think you better wise up, boy

I think you better wise up, boy

I think you better wise up, boy
