Be righteous
My parents said
be righteous

Don´t hang out too much
Become a real man
God knows I´ve tried to follow them
But I didn´t quite succeed in growing up
So I have to try again

Be patient
They used to say
be patient

Love will come when you are old enough to realize
Lord knows I´ve tried to sit and wait
But I got tired of waiting for my fate to come
So I guess I´ll have to wait until my beard´s grown long

Be righteous
My parents said
be righteous

Don´t hang out too much
Become a real man
God kn ows I´ve tried to follow them
But I didn´t quite succeed in growing up
So I have to try again

Be patient
They use to say
be patient

There´s so much, there´s so much
Time for growing old
And too much too much
Love to stay cold

I want to find my love before the morning comes
´Cause I know I have to take my chance
You might call it disobedience
But I know I have to take my chance

Be righteous
Why they always say
be righteous
