What'll They Say... 

Then we're adults

And what do they say...

Do what your told

Get a good job

Deal the right hand

There's no time to waste.

Next we get married

Now he's here to say...

Do what your told

And play by the rules

Your bed is now made

This is your fate.

I'm a mother at last

I'm the one to say

Do what your told!

Through your eyes I now see

Where I began to fade

I hope it's not too late.

Now finally I'm "me"

And this I can say

No more "as I'm told"

Only now I feel whole

They won't understand

That's the chance I take.

So, don't define me

By what I do

What I've accomplished

Or the money I have,

But who I am

And how much I love.
