Turtle Lyrics - Alana Davis

Oh yeah 

Little boy wishes he wasn't small 

He'd give his turtle to be six feet tall 

He's got photos of Shaq and Ewing up on his wall 

And he'd try a jump shot but he's afraid he'll fall down 

Little girl wants to fall in love 

Dressed like her mother in white evening gloves 

She pretends, tells her friends she's got somewhere to go 

They don't ask where so, they'll never know how she feels 

With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry 

Let the moment last, there's no need to worry 

We should be living for today or for tomorrow anyway 

And don't ask for the world on a plate 

'Cause you just might get it 

And don't ever say it's too late 

You know you'll regret it because just when you're sure 

Your life can change right before your eyes 

A mother's thinking of her little boy 

Left home at sixteen back in '84 

He's got a dog named Lucy, says she's all that he needs 

Lucy knows better, she hears all his dreams 

When you search yourself, when you get down to it 

If you know yourself, you know you'll get through it 

So start living for today or tomorrow anyway 

And don't ask for the world on a plate 

'Cause you just might get it 

And don't ever say it's too late 

You know you'll regret it now just when you're sure 

Your life can change right before your eyes, before your eyes 

With a shorter past, there's a greater hurry 

Don't grow too fast there's no need to worry 

Start living for today or tomorrow anyway 

And don't ask for the world on a plate 

'Cause you just might get it 

Don't you ever say it's too late, you know you'll regret it 

Yeah, don't try to turn the hands of fate, if it rains, you got to let it 

And don't ever say it's too late 'cause you know you'll regret it now 

Just when you're sure 

Your life can change right before your eyes 

Right before your eyes
