That’s Just the Way Life Goes

Fool me once, fool me twice
Don't pretend to be so nice
Just, set the cost and I'll pay the price
That's just the way life goes
Getting lost, getting found
Getting crazy when the sun goes down
Waking up on the wrong side of town
That's just the way life goes

Fall in love, fall in line
Find a lover who will make you shine
Have yourselves one hell of a good time
That's just the way life goes
You're in clover, you're in dirt
Bread and water with a fine dessert
And some days even the good news hurts, cause
That's just the way life goes

If we're lucky every year
We take another trip around the sun
And we look back and it's hard not to
Judge the things that we have done
Then we start another trip
Will it be good or bad, nobody knows
We just have to buckle up and tell ourselves
That's just the way life goes

You can laugh, you can cry
You can stand up and testify
Or fall asleep under a diamond sky
That's just the way life goes
Lock the door, stay inside
Tell the wind to hold back the tide
You can run but you just can't hide
That's just the way life goes

Have a drink, have a ball
Build a castle with a garden wall
But don't be surprised when the whole thing falls
Cause, that's just the way life goes
Cut the grass, cut the lights
Get up early, get back in the fight
Tell yourself it's going to be alright
Cause, that's just the way life goes

If we're lucky every year
We take another trip around the sun
And we look back and it's hard not to
Judge the things that we have done
Then we start another trip
Will it be good or bad, nobody knows
We just have to buckle up and tell ourselves
That's just the way life goes

That's just the way life goes
That's just the way life goes
That's just the way life goes
That's just the way life goes
