Brook Benton - Mother Nature, Father Time lyrics

rate me

You're way on top now<br />

And you're having a ball<br />

You've got the world on a string<br />

You think you've got everything<br />

<br />

But you've got nothing at all<br />

'Cause one day, you'll wake up<br />

On the other side of the hill<br />

Oh, if Mother Nature don't stop you<br />

Father time will<br />

<br />

The pace that you're setting<br />

You know it's too fast<br />

Tomorrow, you'll have no future<br />

And there's nothing worth<br />

Thinking of from your past<br />

<br />

You're just breaking yourself<br />

Robbing your own till<br />

If Mother Nature don't stop you<br />

Father Time sure will<br />

<br />

Listen, you're heading<br />

In the wrong direction<br />

You're running from true love<br />

And affection<br />

<br />

I'm taking life seriously<br />

To you, it's just a thrill<br />

You better watch Mother Nature<br />

Or Father Time surely will<br />

Father Time sure will
