The old woman in my hometown, takes your name and writes it down
And she sends your fortunes to your door
I’ve been seeing her for half a year, want to know if love is real
Or am I bound to walk these streets on my own

She said boy you better let your guard down, when somebody new comes around
Boy you better let your guard down, I’ve seen people lock that door and it never opens up
Boy you better let your guard down

The old woman wears a coat of brown, turns the page and starts to frown
As she tells me the stories of her years
Many men they come through here, want me to tell ‘em what they want to hear
But I wasn’t put here to tell no lies

She said boy you better chase your dream now, never know when it comes back around
Boy you better chase that dream now, I’ve seen that moment come and forever it’s gone
Boy you better chase your dream now

She said, you better chase your dream now, never know when it comes back around
Boy you better chase your dream now
I’ve seen that moment come and forever it’s gone
I’ve seen that moment come and forever it’s gone
I’ve seen that moment come and forever it’s gone
Boy you better let your guard down
