It's just a thought But I've noticed somethin' strange, Gettin' harder to explain; All the years are passin' by and by, Still I don't know what makes it go; Who said to wait and you'll see? It's just a thought But I wondered if you knew That the song up there is you. They can't take it from you If you don't give it away; Don't give it away; Ooh (It's given away.) It's just a thought But the word has come too late That a bad idea will take Just about a lifetime to explain, And don't you see, Good one's gonna be much longer; Who's gonna wait, just to see?
