I Need To Think About It Some

Verse 1 When I was younger, I'd be out the door, Hair in a clip, bare feet on the floor. I'd chase the kids, carry half the house, Do the shopping and never slow down. Walk all day with aching feet, Dance all night and still not miss a beat. If there was something that needed doing, I'd just do it without overthinking. Chorus Now I need to think about it, Size it up and talk around it. How far's the walk? Is there a seat? Can I manage all this heat? I still think I've got that spark, Till my joints put in remarks. I'm not giving in or done, I just need to think about it some. Verse 2 I used to spring up from the floor, Now I plan my exit before. Tie my shoes with a little sigh, Wonder when the ground got so high. And here's a truth us women know, Nobody warned us years ago... A cough, a sneeze, a sudden laugh, Can turn into a whole new craft. Chorus So I need to think about it, Cross my legs and laugh about it. Please don't make me laugh too hard, I've been caught like that before. I still think I've got that spark, Till my bladder plays its part. I'm not giving in or done, I just need to think about it some. Bridge The mind still says, "Come on, let's go!" The body's slower, this I know. I choose the path that's not so steep, Check where the nearest toilets might be. I've earned these laugh lines on my face, I've learned there's wisdom in my pace. I may move differently these days, But I've still got plenty left to say. Final Chorus Yeah, I need to think about it, Take the scenic route without a doubt. Count the stairs before I climb, Leave myself a little more time. I still love to dance and sing, Still find joy in little things. I'm not finished, not by a long shot, hon, I just need to think about it some. (Background vocals) Think about it... Think about it... I just need to think about it some... Outro So if you see me checking twice, Before I climb another flight, It's not fear—it's experience talking. And if I sneeze... Well... I just might need to think about it some.
