Watch Out Billie Lyrics - Singles - Nerina Pallot

And my confession would have you on the floor 

- if you knew the truth 

But that's the way they want you - 

Everyone's a sucker for the haze of youth 

We're all prairie children, brought up on the lies of the past 

So it's no surprise then - you will have to ask.... 

Watch out Billie 'fore you go to fast 

You say it couldn't hurt, but then it couldn't last 

You get fifteen minutes while they're watching you 

You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true. 

Watch out girl you'll never be the same 

If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game 

You get fifteen minutes while they know your face 

You'd better pray to God you win the human race. 

I'm like the weather, burning up to fire, burning up to ice. 

But i'm deathly certain the little things we love shouldn't be denied 

We get fed something, but we don't want it, 

We won't live our life with lies 

You want your own heaven that you'll make better, 

You just want your own life. 

Watch out Billie 'fore you go too fast 

You say it couldn't hurt, but then it couldn't last 

You get fifteen miute while they're watching you 

You better hold your breath and hope your dreams come true. 

Watch out girl you'll never be the same 

If it's a cruel world you gotta play the game 

You get fifteen minutes while they know your face 

You'd better pray to God you win the human race.
