Be Righteous
Be righteous
My parents said
Be righteous
Don't hang out too much
Become a real man
God knows I've tried to follow them
But I didn't quite succeed in growing up
So I have to try again
Be patient
They used to say
Be patient
Love will come when you are old enough to realize
Lord knows I've tried to sit and wait
But I got tired of waiting for my fate to come
So I guess I'll have to wait until my beard's grown long
Be righteous
My parents said
Be righteous
Don't hang out too much
Become a real man
God knows I've tried to follow them
But I didn't quite succeed in growing up
So I have to try again
Be patient
They use to say
Be patient
There's so much, there's so much
Time for growing old
And too much too much
Love to stay cold
I want to find my love before the morning comes
'Cause I know I have to take my chance
You might call it disobedience
But I know I have to take my chance
Be righteous
Why they always say
Be righteous
