Be Still

Janelle Monáe · Other Songs - Janelle Monáe

Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart



Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know



To hell if I don't pray like a mannequin in the window

I don't say a word I like to sit back, observe

My heart says do not disturb

And yours is like a doorknob, everybody get a turn

Now that's a turnoff, girl, I'm not concerned



More like the early bird tryin' to get the worm, worm

But not on those terms, you got on my nerves

Say I don't deserve you, you're gonna learn

Treat it like a perm, leave it be or let it burn



Eat 'em like an urr-ange, orange

So when they on the verge of leavin' it don't get borin'

Foreign trips are taken just to see your smiley faces

Time's a-wastin' and I don't like to waste no time

You can be down or, yeah



Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart



Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know



I love bein' in love then you let me down

Turned my heart around

Givin' up on love, makes my ocean drown

You lived in my heart



Secret melodies haunt me at night

Maybe lies and lullabies

This is my last farewell

You let me down



Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart



Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know



Yeah, behind the Cadillac do'

Grip this wood, slide around real slow

Just thinkin', mind blown

As I glare through the smoke tinted windows

And be still



Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart

Be still young heart

Never will you fall apart



Be wise, my dear, you must learn to just be still

Until you really, really know

Show me you're right, shine your light

I wonder when will I know
