Cat Power - you get

노래는 상대방이 자신의 기분이나 조언을 듣지 않고 무관심한 모습에 대해 이야기한다
그러면서 시간의 중요성과 이를 통해 배워야 할 것들에 대해 강조한다
시간을 소중히 여기지 않는 태도는 결국 자신에게 돌아온다는 메시지를 전한다

You take-a-take, and you a-gave-gave-gave what you get
And you'll make, make, make, and you'll pretend what you forget
You never take time
No, you'll never take mine
But if you don't, you could be getting, you'll be getting again
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again
If you don't, you will be getting, you'll be getting again
And would you want? You won't be on time
You cross the street, you got the feeling on me
You never listen to reason, you just tell 'em to be
You never listen to time
You never build up the time
You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get
You never listen, you will get, you get, you get what you get
You never listened beyond the time
And on the street, they're all talking 'bout the things you should listen
And on the news, they're always excusing
And when you tell your friends what you think you ever
And, no, there's nothing like time
To teach you where you have been
And there is nothing like time
To give you things you can need
