Lyrics:

What would I do differently with two kids on my hip?

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

I'm the age you were then

What goes through your mind?

Find some success and reduce the worry on your babies' minds

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

(Lay lay lay) Lay back and light up 

(Lay lay lay back) Lay back and light up without any guilt

(Lay lay lay) Lay back and light up 

(Lay lay lay back) Lay back and light up without any guilt

Credit my weak heart and strong mind

To that bad circumstance or that terrible time

Well I've searched for myself, what would I find?

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

We’re eggshells and not easy to hold

We uncurl and unwind when we sleep side by side

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

Let them say what they will 'cause they will anyhow

(Lay lay lay) Lay back and light up 

(Lay lay lay back) Lay back and light up without any guilt

(Lay lay lay) Lay back and light up 

(Lay lay lay back) Lay back and light up without any guilt

(Lay lay lay) Lay back and light up 

(Lay lay lay back) Lay back and light up
