BABY, THAT'S THE WAY LIFE GOES
©Billy O'Dwyer Bob 2002

Well I woke up late one morning
'Twas early afternoon
The radio was playing some godforsaken tune
I'm staring out the window
And the wind and rain sure blows
Well everybody knows
Baby, that's the way life goes.

I feel so worn out tired
I could rest another hour
My body says 'go back to sleep'
My mind says 'take a shower'
And as I lay daydreaming
'Til the sandman softly shows
Well everybody knows, baby
That's the way life goes.

CHORUS
Baby, that's the way life goes
Baby, that's the way life goes
Wen you're feeling lost and lonely
And you've slipped so out of tune
Your everything's so upside down
You don't know what you're doing
You know you're just not living
But you live the life you chose
Well baby, that's the way life goes.

I walk into the kitchen for to make a cup of tea
The reflection in the window shows
Someone who looks like me
And as I stare in silence
At the shadows, my eyes close
Well everybody knows, baby, that's the way life goes.

CHORUS

I want to chase a rainbow
To run and laugh and scream
To make a wish upon a star
And follow all my dreams
I want to know I'm living
From my head down to my toes
Well everybody knows, baby, that's the way life goes.

CHORUS
