 From The Heart

Old Enough To Know Better


Walking down the street
Is what I want to do.
And if I should cross the street,
I'll look both ways first.

Some kids don't understand that
You're supposed to look then cross
But I do because I'm old enough to
Know better.

Yeap....19 is old enough for me.
I feel older than that sometimes
But there's nothing I can do.
Just 5 more months and I'll be 20.

I'm old enough to know right from wrong
And I'm old enough to know that I can
Make my own choices in my life. I'm
Old enough to know even who I love.

Some people in this world drink,
Smoke, do drugs, steal, cheat,
But not me. You wanna know why?
Because I'm old enough to know better.

Some people get divorces, some seperate
For many different reasons here on Earth.
Some sleep with other people's wives/husbands
But oh no, not me. I'm old enough to know better.

I would love my husband, care for my husband,
Cherish my husband, be with my husband, do
Everything a woman should for her husband but
I will never cheat on him or anything.

I'm old enough to know better
At how life goes and at how
Life ends. I'm old enough to
Know better that I love you.
