Verse 1
Seek out the light between
Time and confusion glowing up ahead
Instead of slipping through
You bit off more, much more than you could chew

Chorus 1
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down

Verse 2
We had a lot to learn
Table manners and grace, how to wait your turn when
Time came to clear your slate
You had too much, had too much on your plate

Chorus 2
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down

Verse 3
Take your medicine and crawl before you walk
Think it through before you open you open your mouth to talk

Find your little heart's desire and

Chorus 3
Follow it
Whoa baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down

Chorus 4
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, slow down
And take the time to evolve
You could not Swallow It
No baby you're not ready, now

(Slow down!)

No, no, no, no!

Exitude
Don't be afraid, this is your year
It's gonna be alright, you're a performer
Just take your time, but not too much time

No, no, no, no!
                                          fin.
