Get yourself together, you say to me
We've been down this road a few times
Little hopes, they percolate and dance around my mind
And that judge of mine
He's nothing but

Caterpillar in my garden
Not quite what you ought to be
Maybe you just need a little more time
Guess we'll have to wait for spring

Get yourself together, you always say to me
Call it like it is, I'm doing fine
I'm something like a

Caterpillar in my garden
Not quite what I ought to be
Maybe I just need a little more time
Caught up in an old sob story
But my new life will take time, so be kind
Yeah

Hell to the haters
I don't write for the past hell bent complainer in me
Oh
Pick up a new line
Patiently take your time, and be kind

A caterpillar in my garden
Not quite what you ought to be
Maybe you just need a little more
Some more
A little more time
Some time, and be kind
And get your head right
