IF A SHADOW OF A DOU-OUBT REMAINS
THERE'S NO ONE E-ELSE BUT YOURSE-ELF TO BLAME
WE ALL MUST LEAR-EARN THAT WE HA-AVE TO CHANGE
TO KEEP ON GROW-OH-OH-ING

A HOUSE WORTH BUILDING OR A BRI-IDGE TO BURN
YOU CAN'T KEEP HANGIN' ON TO WHA-AT IS GONE
WITHOUT EXPLO-OH-HO-DING
CHORUS:
SO PLEASE DON'T ASK ME
IF I'VE BEEN DIS A WAY - EE-YEAH
I MAY HAVE BEEN BUT THAT'S ANOTHER DAY-EE-YEAH-OH YEA
AND IF YOU ASK ME IF I'VE SOMETHIN' TO SAY-EE-YEAH
THERE AIN'T NOTHIN', THERE AIN'T NOTHIN THAT AIN'T
SHO-OO-OH-OH-WIN' DUH
SOME SAY THE LIFE WE LIVE IS ONLY A GAME
NO MATTER WHAT WE DO IT STAYS JUST THE SAME
AND SO THEY HAVEN'T GOT A REASON TO CHANGE
THEY JUST GET OH-OH-OL-DER

NO CELEBRATION AND NO VICTORY TO CLAIM
WE'D LIVE OUR LIVES THE SAME, FROM DAY TO DAY
AND JUST GROW CO-OH-OH-OLDER
