What I've Been Told

Play it safe Keep it cool Keep it calm and collected Share too much You're a fool Keep it all introspective You're too loud Too upfront Save some room for some mystery Laugh too hard You're a fake And you're just not that pretty This is what I've been told It's all I've been told This is what I've been told It's all I've been told Play it safe Keep it light Don't draw too much attention Don't speak up Out of turn Take some more time to listen So I sit down I shut up And now everyone's wondering What's with her Such a bore Wonder why she's not talking This is what I've been told It's all I've been told This is what I've been told (Ooh) It's all I've been told Oh darling, you are Everything you're meant to be When you get older It's easier to see You've made it this far Girl, don't give up on me I promise, one day They will all see our strength This is what I've been told This is what I've been told This is what I've been told It's all I've been told This is what I've been told Oh darling, you are Everything you're meant to be (This is what I've been told) When you get older It's easier to see (It's all I've been told) You've made it this far Girl, don't give up on me (This is what I've been told) I promise, one day They will all see our strength (This is what I've been told)
