about

concocted by Michael Simmons

lyrics

When I’m feeling tired
A little sad and uninspired
I do just what my
best friend tells me
And everything’s all right
When I feel ignored
Like there’s no purpose
for me anymore
I listen to what my
best friend tells me
And everything’s all right

She tells me I’m important
She says my day will come
She’s sure that my adventure
Has hardly begun
Then she says

It’s gotta happen, it’s gotta happen,
it’s gotta happen
It sure ain’t happening now
It’s gotta happen, it’s gotta happen,
it’s gotta happen
It sure ain’t happening now

When I don’t feel sure
A little shy and insecure
I do just what my best friend tells me
And everything’s all right
When I’m out of touch
My contributions to society don’t mean much
I listen to what my best friend tells me
And everything’s all right

She tells me that I’m special
She says I’m doing great
It’s gonna happen soon
And baby I can’t wait
Then she tells me

It’s gotta happen, it’s gotta happen,
it’s gotta happen
It sure ain’t happening now
It’s gotta happen, it’s gotta happen,
it’s gotta happen
It sure ain’t happening now
