Old enough

You look pretty in your fancy dress
But I detect unhappiness
You never speak so I have to guess
You´re not free.
There, maybe when you´re old enough
You´ll realize you´re not so tough
And some days the seas get rough
And you´ll see
You´re too young to have it figured out
You think you know what you´re talking about
You think it will all work itself out
But we´ll see
When I was young I thought I knew
You probably think you know too
Do you? Well do you?
I was naïve just like you
I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do
Well, what´s you gonna do?
And how have you gotten by so far
Without having a visible scar?
No one knows who you really are
They can´t see
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do now
The only way you´ll ever learn a thing
Is to admit that you know absolutely nothing
Oh nothing
Think about this carefully
You might not get another chance to speak freely
Oh freely
Maybe when you´re old enough
Maybe when you´re old enough
Maybe when you´re old enough
You´re not free
You´re not free
But I detect unhappiness
You never speak so I have to guess
You´re not free.
There, maybe when you´re old enough
You´ll realize you´re not so tough
And some days the seas get rough
And you´ll see
You´re too young to have it figured out
You think you know what you´re talking about
You think it will all work itself out
But we´ll see
When I was young I thought I knew
You probably think you know too
Do you? Well do you?
I was naïve just like you
I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do
Well, what´s you gonna do?
And how have you gotten by so far
Without having a visible scar?
No one knows who you really are
They can´t see
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do (what´s you gonna do)
What´s you gonna do now
What´s you gonna do now
The only way you´ll ever learn a thing
Is to admit that you know absolutely nothing
Oh nothing
Think about this carefully
You might not get another chance to speak freely
Oh freely
Maybe when you´re old enough
Maybe when you´re old enough
Maybe when you´re old enough
You´re not free
You´re not free
