Thelma Plum - Wiseman Lyrics

Thelma Plum Lyrics

"Wiseman"

A wiseman told me
If you want to be happy
Why don't you turn that frown upside down
But I'm still hurting
And yeah I'm learning
So keep your wise old words to yourself

People like him
Don't like us to fight
Most of the time we win
So hold your head high
There's no need to cry
'Cause people like him had their time

You won't let me swim
Even though I know how
I'm starting to drift
But I won't let me drown
This time, this time, oh
I know this much for sure
I'm not your baby anymore

The wiseman told me
You better stay holy
I don't like girls who shout too much
By the time I'm 30
Better find a house and a home
And somebody worthy to love

People like him
Don't like us to fight
Most of the time we win
So hold your head high
There's no need to cry
'Cause people like him had their time

You won't let me swim
Even though I know how
I'm starting to drift
But I won't let me drown
This time, this time, oh
I know this much for sure
I'm not your baby anymore
Anymore
I'm not your baby anymore
