Fortune cookie

Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu

They say: Emma, you don't understand
You will need a helping hand
They say: Emma, you're so way too young
Just be quiet, bite your tongue

Maybe I should listen
To the ones who say
There is only black and white
And only one right way
All I need is time
To figure this all out

And why
Am I waiting on the other side
And why
Do you say I'm wrong when you know I'm right
I need lucky numbers and a Chinese phrase
In a fortune cookie on rainy days
And I say

Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu

I say: Emma, you will make it far
But only by being who you are
so I say: let them talk and don't be shy
Emma, keep your head up high

I no longer listen
To the ones who say
There is only black and white
And only one right way
Give me some time
And I figure it all out

And why
Am I waiting on the other side
And why
Do you say I'm wrong when you know I'm right
I need lucky numbers and a Chinese phrase
In a fortune cookie on rainy days
And I say

Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu

And I
I'm waiting on the other side
And why
Do you say I'm wrong when you know I'm right
I need lucky numbers and a Chinese phrase
In a fortune cookie on rainy days
I say

Tu tu tu du tu du tu
Tu tu tu du tu du tu
