APPENDIX 4.7: The Record of Figurative Language in the Song: It’s not
Right for You
7. It’s not Right for You
1
My head, my head is full of things that I shouldve done
2
My heart, my heart is heavy, and it sinks like a stone
3
She said, is this the life youve been dreaming of
4
Spending half the day away from the things you love
5
Its not too late, to do something new
6
She said, its hard enough trying to live your life
7
But not following your dreams makes you dead inside
8
If you dont love what you do Chorus:
9
Its not right, its not right for you
10
If you even have to think about it
11
Its not right, its not right for you
12
If you really have to think about it
13
You got one life to love what you do
14
My hands, my hands are scarred by things I shouldnt have done
15
My feet, my feet are weary from all the miles that Ive run
16
She said, open your mind take a look within
17
Are you happy with the world that youre living in
18
If not, you gotta change what you do
19
She said, and lately I dont see you smiling love
20
Are you happy here with me and the things weve got
21
If you cant say that its true Chorus
22
If we dont do something now then
23
Well never know
24
If we stay here too long then well, well never grow old
25
So before its too late and its killing you yeah
26
Weve only one life to live
27
So love what you do Chorus
28
In the end, in the end
29
Better hold „cause you‟re taking it all in
30
In the end, in the end
31
You got one life to love what you do Me
