Anyway...
My mother always taught me when I was a little girl
Getting angry isn't worth it, it just gives your heart a whirl
She said that I should count to take my focus away
Start back in a few seconds - my perspective will change, she said...

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
If you find that you're not ready back it up and count again
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Give yourself a little breather then your heart's on the mend

Yo, when my heart begins a racin' and my face begins to frown
I can feel my blood a boilin' and my chest begins to pound
When my thoughts are goin' crazy I begin to draw my fists
Yo, I need to stop and count to ten - we need to resist

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
If you find that you're not ready back it up and count again
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Give yourself a little breather see, your heart's on the mend!
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
If you find that you're not ready back it up and count again
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Give yourself a little breather see, your heart's on the mend!

One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
If you find that you're not ready back it up and count again
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Give yourself a little breather see, your heart's on the mend!
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
If you find that you're not ready back it up and count again
One two three four five six seven eight nine ten
Give yourself a little breather, now you've got it, my friends!
