IF I ever grow tired,
Too tired to drive,
Tell me to pull over
To hand you my keys.
IF I ever grow lazy,
Too lazy to work,
Tell me to shape up
And stop being a bum.
IF I ever grow forgetful,
Too forgetful to remember
To water your plants
Or take out the trash
The date of your birthday…
To pay the bills on time
-or even at all-
Tell me to remember,
Remind me and help me recall.
All these things I need to know,
I need to know from you
And I'm not going to be happy to hear them,
But why would I be?
If you ever grow tired,
Grow lazy and forget to remind me
I'll tell you to shape up
And stop being a bum.
