Lyrics
Nothing makes you happy, don't matter what I do;
You act just like the whole world revolves all around you;
It's time to give it a rest and get over yourself.
You always find an insult in anything that I say;
And one thing that's for sure, you got to have your own way;
It's time to give it a rest and get over yourself.
You see every glass as half empty, less than perfect will never do;
You don't know what you don't know, why don't you get a clue;
It's time for you to grow up, in fact it's overdue;
But you ain't listenin' to me cause it's all about you.
I want to make you happy but I don't know where to begin;
Everything is not enough, what you want seems to have no end;
It's time to give it a rest and get over yourself.
You know I love you baby but it's wearin' kinda thin;
I think I'll say goodbye and start all over again;
It's time to give it a rest and get over yourself.
