A 21 Year Old
Ask me about my career, I wouldn’t have a clue
I am busy questioning my very existence, like a fool
Waiting for the ‘right’ time to take the ‘right’ decision
Till then I simply avoid those ‘ruthless’ people who ask such questions
Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told
Oh good lord spare me!
In the end I am just a 21 year old.
Ask me about my love life, and I would say I love my dog
Be it my tears, my smile or my anger, she has seen me going through all
The winds, those pretty flowers and rains
Finding happiness amidst sorrow and pain
But that’s just in the movies and the novels I read
In the real life, I guess I will stay single with such needs
Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told
Oh good lord spare me
In the end I am just a 21 year old.
Ask me about my family, and I will say I love them a lot
It took me a few years to realize their importance
But I hope they will forgive me for being such a clot
But it takes time to cherish the love of such purity
To get over and look beyond teenage insanity
I hope things work like this, in this, nothing was to be told
Oh good lord spare me
In the end m just a 21 year old
Ask me if I know how to cook, and I would ask will Maggie be enough?
Dealing with those flames and spices, I find that a little tough
But then mom says, you are a grown up now, you should learn all this
My answer?
I will learn it when the time is right ,
let's not be unfair by leaving a cook unemployed
Things don’t work like this, that’s what I am told
Oh good lord spare me
In the end i am just a 21 year old
Ask me when I am planning to grow up
And I will say, I need more time
A little more time to introspect, a little more time to know
The purpose of my life , someday I will unfold
Till then, oh good lord spare me
I am just a 21 year old!
