John Mayer - "Every Little Thing She Does" lyrics

Freshman year,
when you get out of here'"
Mom asks "What do you want to do
I said, "Well, gee, I'm only 13,
be a star."
but I think I'd like to play my guitar...
"Well," she said, "that's not it,
you got time to go.
Good sense will kick in anytime, you know.
I'm not worried, I'm not worried."

Sophomore year,
she asked the same old thing,
my answer had remained unchanged.
I saw her fidget with her thumbs.
She said, "You like computers, John,
you like computers, don't you'
you like computers
Yeah, I always see you with computers...
maybe you could do something with computers.
Yeah, wouldn't that be nice'"

Junior year,
It's a little more intense,
She says, "What do you want to do with your life'"
I'm not on the fence, I know exactly what I aim to be,
and I'm only 17.
She said, "Well, all I ask, is that you pay attention in class,
so if you happen to change your mind in time,
you can still go somewhere reputable...
do us proud."
So I went downstairs,
and I played guitar loud.
Yeah, senior year,

Same old question,
She said, "What do you want to do'"
I said, "Play my guitar and sing."
She said, "There's no such thing."
She said, "There's no such thing..."

(speaking: I love you Mom)

"Welcome to the real world", she said to me
Condescendingly
Take a seat, take your life
Plot it out in black and white
And the drama queens
Well, I never lived the dreams of the prom kings
I'd like to think the best of me
Is still hiding up my sleeve
