Eleanora I'm all for ya But I can't make up my mind I can't make up my mind Mama Flora Says she told ya My choice Is coming with time My choice is coming with time A perennial can bloom If flowers don't grow But the buds are a tomb For the breeze to blow The roots will be there Or we might as well trust But even with care We could just be dust Enough is enough I'm tired of hanging on In a game you can’t win I feel like I’m just a pawn Something simple inside Ya hearing it from the birds But ya building a book trying to put it to words Oh Eleano-oh-oh-oh-rah I’m all for ya oh… (x2) Oh Mama Flo-oh-oh-oh-rah Says she told ya no (x2) x2 [Whistles] Eleanora is all for ya so won't you make up your mind just make your mind Mama Flora Coulda told ya that I won't be waiting this time Don't be wasting my time
