Got the news today
Doctors said I had to stay
A little bit longer and I'll be fine

When I thought it'd all been done
When I thought it'd all been said
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know

All this time goes by
Still no reason why
A little bit longer and I'll be fine

Waiting on a cure
But none of them are sure
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
But you don't know what you got till it's gone
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know
You don't even know, know, know

Yeah!

But you don't what you got till it's gone,
And you don't know what it's like to feel so low, yeah
And every time you smile, you laugh, you glow
You don't even know! yeah, oh, yeah, ohhh, yeah, yeah
You don't even know! know, know!

So I'll wait till kingdom come
All the highs and lows are gone
A little bit longer and I'll be fine
I'll be, fine

    General Comment:ok honestly, whoever thinks this song is about their grandmother is stupid, nno offense. :) "got the news today, doctor said I have to stay a little bit longd I'LL be fine." not, "got the news today, doctor said she should have stayed a little bit longer" or some crap lie that. its clearly about HIM. also, at the end of the song, it talks about hime getting the higs and lows worked out or something along those lines. whenyou have diabeties you need to work out how much insulin you need to make sure your blood sugar doesnt go too high or low. so this is 100% about HIM having to deal with this. and he has to stay a little bit longer so HE will be fine. he had to stay in the hospital for a few days to get his insulin regime worked out.... just sayin. :)

    My Interpretation:This song is obiviously about Nick Jonas catching AIDS from all the anal sex he has with random men he meets on street corners. It's clearly evidenced by the line "Waiting on a cure but none of them are sure"

    My Interpretation:Your all so disrespectful, it's actually unreal.
    If people like the Jonas brothers, get the fuck over it.

    People have the right to like whatever they like :)
    & as for lyrical talent? They may not be the best.

    But until your up on that stage doing what they do, shut the fuck up.

    Nick wrote this about he's diabetes.
    It's touching.
