Fred Astaire

Lyrics

[Chorus] You can call it anything you want The fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends Pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way [Verse 1] You've so many opportunities I never had Don't push so hard Nothing is ever easy And this talent that you take for granted Its a gift from God Don't pass it up Nothing is ever easy Are you ready to work real hard? Are you tired? It's just the start Listen to me son I'll take you far (Take you far) [Chorus] You can call it anything you want The fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends Pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way [Verse 2] Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side, again! Gonna get it right Don't push so hard (Push so hard) Nothing is ever easy Don't forget your please and thank you's Don't forget to smile Don't pass this up (pass this up) Nothing is ever easy Are you ready to work real hard? Are you tired? It's just the start Listen to me son I'll take you far (Take you far) [Chorus] You can call it anything you want The fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends Pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way [Bridge] They're pushing these children for all the wrong reasons So far, man you're crushing down their spirits You're pushing these children for all the wrong reasons So far, man you're crushing down their spirits Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away Eventually, eventually They suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away Eventually, eventually Seeking, seeking, oh One of these, one of these Seeking seeking, oh (Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away) One of these one of these paths You're wasting time, I call it living To the world what are you giving You're wasting time, I call it living To the world what are you giving You're wasting time, I call it living To the world what are you giving You're wasting time [Chorus] You can call it anything you want The fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends Pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way (Never got to be your Fred Astaire) 'Cause I never got to be your Fred Astaire (Never got to be your Fred Astaire) No I never got to be your Fred Astaire [Chorus Out] You can call it anything you want The fact remains the same I never got to be your Fred Astaire You can lie to yourself and all your friends Pretend that you don't care But circumstance gets in the way
