When I'm giving advice to others
I take more than I can give
It's a birds eye view of what I want you to do
Or how to live
And I really don't have to suffer
I still do it anyway
I'm a diamond in the rough
Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay
Guess what
I lost my job
It's just my luck
Reveal you've always been the actor
And those puppy dog eyes
Well one of y'alls tellin' the truth
The other one is lying
And it's someone else's fault so often
You're gettin' rude, you're gettin' tall
It's a great big world darlin' your translation is just a little off
So what
You made a mistake
You try to hide the time
The time is life
Gets a little bit larger everyday
And it grows till it's out of control
I take more than I can give
It's a birds eye view of what I want you to do
Or how to live
And I really don't have to suffer
I still do it anyway
I'm a diamond in the rough
Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay
Guess what
I lost my job
It's just my luck
Reveal you've always been the actor
And those puppy dog eyes
Well one of y'alls tellin' the truth
The other one is lying
And it's someone else's fault so often
You're gettin' rude, you're gettin' tall
It's a great big world darlin' your translation is just a little off
So what
You made a mistake
You try to hide the time
The time is life
Gets a little bit larger everyday
And it grows till it's out of control
