Lil Wiser - Natalie Williams

Can I get a little

Can I get a little wiser

Everyday’s a little

Everyday’s a little nicer ooh

I feel a confidence in me

Oh I wouldn’t change, I wouldn’t change a single thing

I’ve learned to grow instinctively

And without pain then tell me please where would we be

We sometimes make mistakes, but if we’re wise we learn from them

I still recall the days thinking I knew everything

Regrets, we all may have a few

Encounters that weren’t meant to be

If I knew then what I know now

Surely I would not be me

As if it was just yesterday

Oh there’s little me assuming I’ve seen everything

A change to such a big city

And may I say, streetwise wasn’t my middle name

But young and brash convinced I had the whole world on a string

Situations did occur, I lost control, it’s sink or swim

If you want more than I’ll allow

Make promises you cannot keep

I’m glad I’m so much wiser now

Got out before I fell too deep

You hear about it every day

Young girls naïve and lead astray

Obsession with celebrity, wanting to be like her in the magazines

There’s always someone who talks the talk, lures you in, and walks the walk

And you, you gotta try your luck, you want to win and make a buck

But in the end you’ve only got yourself this is what I’ve come to see
