Race Against Time - CeeLo Green

Nobody lives forever

So come on let’s have some fun

And I want a happy ending

Just like everyone wants one

And life would be sweeter

If we all had somewhere we could run

Oh, but don’t you dare tell me what can’t be done

They say you don’t have to grow up

But you’ve got to grow older

It only hurts when I laugh, you see

I’ll always be young

I’ll always be young in my mind

But I’m racing against the time

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

Ah, nevermind the mirror in your room

Be who you feel

And th ground’s under your feet

But you won’t get ther standing still

Peak and valley is a promise

But don’t you stop until

Oh, and I’ll make it, yes, I’ll make it, yes, I will

Had a fight with my father time

About my mother’s nature

That meant I’m destiny’s child

You see, I’ll always be young

I’ll always be young in my mind

But I’m racing against the time

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah) Yeah

(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah) Ooh wee

(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)

(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah) Come on, children

(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)

(Na na na, yeah yeah yeah)

Ah, one, two, three, do it

(Ah) Ah (Ah) Yeah (Ah) Yeah (Ah) Ah (Ah)

(Ah)

Racing against the time

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

But I won’t keep any secrets from you, baby

I’m a sinner, yes, I am

And I may have lost your war of words

But baby, I’m still a winner, yeah

Does wearing your heart on your sleeve really mean

That it is isn’t in you?

Looking good but you aren’t that great of a pretender

When everything is said and done

I’ll be alive in my only son

And I’ll be there when his son has one, yeah

So I’ll always be young

Said I’ll always be young in my mind

Oh, said I’m racing against the time, yes

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

Yes, yeah now

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

Ooh ooh, racing against the time

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

Oh yeah, mmm, racing, yeah yeah

(Alright, yeah yeah yeah, na na na)

Yeah
