Lookout kid, trust your heart 00:28
You don't have to play the part they wrote for you 00:31
Just be true 00:34
There are things that you could do 00:36
That no one else on earth could ever do 00:38
But I can't teach you, I can't teach it to you 00:41
Lookout kid, trust your mind 00:48
But you can't trust it every time 00:50
You know it plays tricks on you 00:53
And it don't give a damn if you are happy or you're sad 00:55
But if you've lost it, don't feel bad 00:59
'Cause it's alright to be sad 01:02
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro 01:08

Lookout kid, trust your body 01:28
You can dance, you can shake 01:31
Things will break, you'll make mistakes 01:33
You'll lose your friends, again and again 01:35
Because nothing is ever perfect, no one's perfect 01:37
Let me say it again, no one's perfect 01:40
Right 01:47
A lifetime of skinned knees 01:49
And heartbreak comes so easy 01:53
But a life without pain, would be boring 01:58
And if you feel it, it's fine 02:06
I'll give you everything that's mine 02:11
I'll give you my heart and my precious time 02:16
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro 02:22
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-dow 02:24
Lookout kid, trust your soul 02:46
It ain't hard to rock 'n' roll 02:49
You know how to move your hips 02:51
And you know God is cool with it 02:54
With some people want the rock without the roll 02:56
But we all know, there's no God without the soul 02:59
Right 03:06
A lifetime of skinned knees 03:08
And heartbreak comes so easily 03:12
But a life without you would be boring for someone like me 03:17
And if you feel it, it's fine 03:25
I'll give you everything that's mine 03:29
I'll give you my heart, and my precious time 03:34

[English]

Lookout kid, trust your heart
You don't have to play the part they wrote for you
Just be true
There are things that you could do
That no one else on earth could ever do
But I can't teach you, I can't teach it to you
Lookout kid, trust your mind
But you can't trust it every time
You know it plays tricks on you
And it don't give a damn if you are happy or you're sad
But if you've lost it, don't feel bad
'Cause it's alright to be sad
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-dow
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro
Do-do, do-do do
Do do-do, do do-do, do do-do, do do-do, do do-do
Lookout kid, trust your body
You can dance, you can shake
Things will break, you'll make mistakes
You'll lose your friends, again and again
Because nothing is ever perfect, no one's perfect
Let me say it again, no one's perfect
Right
A lifetime of skinned knees
And heartbreak comes so easy
But a life without pain, would be boring
And if you feel it, it's fine
I'll give you everything that's mine
I'll give you my heart and my precious time
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-dow
Lookout kid, trust your soul
It ain't hard to rock 'n' roll
You know how to move your hips
And you know God is cool with it
With some people want the rock without the roll
But we all know, there's no God without the soul
Right
A lifetime of skinned knees
And heartbreak comes so easily
But a life without you would be boring for someone like me
And if you feel it, it's fine
I'll give you everything that's mine
I'll give you my heart, and my precious time
Precious time
I'll give you everything
I'll give you my heart, and my precious time
De-do-do-ro, de-do-do-ro
Do-do, do-do, do-do-do-dow
Unconditional
Unconditional
(It's unconditional) no matter what you do
It's unconditional (unconditional)
Unconditional (unconditional)
(Unconditional) no matter what you do
It's unconditional (unconditional)
