Brook Benton - Mother Nature, Father Time lyrics

You're way on top now And you're having a ball You've got the world on a string You think you've got everything But you've got nothing at all 'Cause one day, you'll wake up On the other side of the hill Oh, if Mother Nature don't stop you Father time will The pace that you're setting You know it's too fast Tomorrow, you'll have no future And there's nothing worth Thinking of from your past You're just breaking yourself Robbing your own till If Mother Nature don't stop you Father Time sure will Listen, you're heading In the wrong direction You're running from true love And affection I'm taking life seriously To you, it's just a thrill You better watch Mother Nature Or Father Time surely will Father Time sure will
