Pull the hair back from your eyes,
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird
Save your questions without answers,
'Til your old enough to know
That things ain't as they appeared
Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware the cancer,
It might kill you when you're old
Be first in line, raise your hand
Remember everything you hear
And playing in the rain is worth catching cold
[Chorus]
Sooner or later we'll be lookin' back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and
Someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way
We only want what's best for you
That's why we tell you what to do
And nevermind if nothing makes sense
'Cause It all works out in the end
You're just like us without a friend
But you can build a privacy fence (yeah)
[Chorus]
Some things you have to learn
Them all on your own
You can't rely on anybody else
Or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good, and sounds nice, then it's your choice
Don't doubt yourself, don't even think twice
Pull the hair back from your eyes,
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile
(Find a reason to smile)
Try not to focus on yourself
Share that love with someone else
Don't let the bitters bring you down (down)
Don't let anything bring you down
[Chorus]
Let the people see your pretty face
Try not to say anything weird
Save your questions without answers,
'Til your old enough to know
That things ain't as they appeared
Before you go out in the sun
Cover your skin and don't get burned
Beware the cancer,
It might kill you when you're old
Be first in line, raise your hand
Remember everything you hear
And playing in the rain is worth catching cold
[Chorus]
Sooner or later we'll be lookin' back on everything
And we'll laugh about it like we knew what all was happening and
Someday you might listen to what people have to say
Now you learn the hard way
We only want what's best for you
That's why we tell you what to do
And nevermind if nothing makes sense
'Cause It all works out in the end
You're just like us without a friend
But you can build a privacy fence (yeah)
[Chorus]
Some things you have to learn
Them all on your own
You can't rely on anybody else
Or the point of view of a source unknown
If it feels good, and sounds nice, then it's your choice
Don't doubt yourself, don't even think twice
Pull the hair back from your eyes,
Let the people see your pretty face
You know they like it when you smile
(Find a reason to smile)
Try not to focus on yourself

Don't let the bitters bring you down (down)
Don't let anything bring you down

This song lifts me up when I'm feeling down. I like to think most times in life you're able to avoid most mistakes but every once in a while you make one that makes you feel like a complete idiot and its even worse when its in public and people call you out over it.
So whenever I'm feeling down this song lifts me up and reminds me that tomorrows another day and not to get upset over past mistakes. Learn from them. And move on with a smile on your face.
