Grain of Rice lyrics

[Verse 1]
They’re messing with my mind
Everybody else seems fine
Say my coat is only worth a dime
They try to tell me that my heart don’t stand a chance
Don’t speak for me I know this dance
I wanna put a notion in your head
While I lie awake in bed
Take one hard look at yourself and see
And I’m not preaching
And you're fine lean on me
Step up that pedestal
Oh please

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I end up wondering
How much more that I could take
Better be a whole lot more, boy
For goodness sakes

[Chorus]
She tried to tell me
Can’t always be perfect
It’s more than I bargained for
But it’s still worth it
It’s in your soul babe
Relinquish all control
I should take my own advice
Now make 'em out another grain of rice
[Post-Chorus]
All it is depends on me
And how I choose to view
Everything I see

[Verse 3]
They’re messing with my mind
Taking up all my time
Say my coat is only worth a dime
They try to tell me
Son, hey, two plus two is five
Makes sense to me, that sounds right

[Verse 4]
I wanna put a notion in your head
While I lie awake in bed
Take one hard look at yourself and see
There must be something goin’ ‘round this time of year
But what it is
This ain’t too clear

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I end up wondering
What the hell that I should do
Take it as it comes to you, boy
Think fast and see it through
[Chorus]
She tried to tell me
Warned me of my ways
Day by day I make the same mistakes
It’s in your soul babe
Relinquish all control
I should take my own advice
Now make 'em out another grain of rice

[Outro]
All it is depends on me
And how I choose to view
Everything I see
