Then they can walk on by [Jesy] My feet, feet can't touch the ground And I can't hear a sound But you just keep on running up your mouth, yeah [Jade] Walk, walk on over there 'Cos I'm too fly to care, oh yeah [All] Your words don't mean a thing I'm not listening Keep talking, all I know is (Chorus) Mamma told me not to waste my life She said spread your wings my little butterfly Don't let what they say keep you up at night And they can't detain you 'Cos wings are made to fly And we don't let nobody bring us down No matter what you say it won't hurt me Don't matter if I fall from the sky These wings are made to fly 'Huh huh'...
