Didn’t I Tell You

[Verse 1]
He was young
Ha, not old enough
To listen to the feelings that he hides
He doesn't know why, or what he's for
And he's running for a dream he cannot find

[Verse 2]
When he was young
He took a long look at what he sees
Giving back America its dream
Another son won his way out of here
And he's never coming back to where he's been

[Chorus]
When he was young, not old enough
Got the chance to live before you die
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
That ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
That ain't good enough
That ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you?

[Verse 3]
So get it on
Oh, don't hesitate
You've got to start the fire in your heart
You belong, but don't be afraid
To give up on a world that falls apart

[Chorus]
When he was young, not old enough
Got the chance to live before you die
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
That ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
That ain't good enough
That ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Oh, didn't I tell you?

[Bridge]
Oh-oh
Got the chance to live before you die, yeah
Got the chance to live before you die
Not old enough
Got the chance to live before you die

[Refrain]
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Oh, that ain't good enough
That ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you, yeah?
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I tell you?
Oh, that that ain't good enough
That ain't good enough

[Chorus]
Didn't I tell you?
Oh, didn't I tell you? Yeah
'Cause that ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you?
Oh, that ain't good enough
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you?

[Outro]
Oh, didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
That that ain't good enough (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you?
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
Didn't I tell you? (Didn't I, didn't I tell you?)
