Life Gets in the Way

Like a moth to an old flame, the frost to a shiver As a lover sings, a letdown delivers Rose-tinted hearts attack You go there once and you don't come back boy The list goes on life's in my way Maybe I'm ungrateful, I reap just what I sow You know that once my aim was true for you Till sunshine turned to snow And I can't shake the feeling And the house is always freezing so I Step back (step up) Hold tight (hold on) Burst into the night And we can hold hands And we could send letters And I'll always fall short And you could do much better if I had some money D'ya think that it would change? Surprised at just how long it took But life gets in the way, gets in the way You just sit pretty and I'll do the talking The rest ran riot whilst I was walking Happiness is an inside job Stand on your own or you blend with the mob, boy The list goes on life's in my way Maybe I'm just selfish Or maybe I've got it sussed Cos I know all your twenty pantomimes And I'd rather fold than push And I kept all my seventeen And I cashed out for a flush so I'll Step back (step up) Hold tight (hold on) I'll put up a fight And we can hold hands And we could send letters And I'll always fall short And you could do much better if I had some money D'ya think that it would change? Surprised at just how long it took But life gets in the way, gets in the way We can hold hands And we could send letters And I'll always fall short And you could do much better if I had some money D'ya think that it would change? Surprised at just how long it took But life gets in the way, gets in the way
