Lyrics

It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts It only takes a moment to move on It only takes a moment to collect my thoughts It only takes a moment to move on My brain is like a puppy and it doesn't know better It gets in trouble if it gets away I've gotta be more tough, I've gotta grab it by the scruff I've gotta sternly teach it better ways I'm getting into trouble when I don't keep watch My brain is like a pup that makes a mess If I see it heading where I don't want it shedding I've learned to let it roam a little less I've learned that bad things happen if I don't pay attention If I turn around and suddenly it's gone But it only takes a moment to collect my thoughts It only takes a moment to move on It only takes a moment It only takes a moment My mind is like a floppy new arrival from the pound How can I blame it, it's too dumb to know? I can't expect it to respond when I'm the one who let it wander So It's up to me to train it where to go Cause often to a darkened corner it will surely stumble Or into where unstable things are stacked I'm the one who's left with all the wreckage and the cleanup So I'm in the one who has to teach it how to act No! Don't go there! Get over here! I tell it Come back here and treat me with respect! But it only takes a moment to collect my thoughts It only takes a moment to reflect It only takes a moment It only takes a moment
