LIFE HAS A MIND OF IT'S OWN
You justify all like a public defender
Your heart's like a butter knife -- delicate, tender
You hear the echoes of words that you send her
All of the chances you've blown
Oh no, you have been mistaken
Your bridges are burning or seriously shaken
If this is a dream, you would like to awaken
But life has a mind of it's own, life has a mind of it's own
'Cause just when you think you've it all figured out
Something roars in and it turns you about
And there's nothing to do but go hoarse as you shout
Life has a mind of it's own, life has a mind of it's own
And why is life not the white cliffs of Dover
Instead of lessons learned over and over?
I'm standing in sand but I'm dreaming of clover
Some paths are just overgrown
So you think you will coast, then you find it's uphill
You're sure that you won't, then you find that you will
Life can surprise you still
Life has a mind of it's own, yes, life has a mind of it's own
'Cause just when you think you've it all figured out
Something roars in and it turns you about
And there's nothing to do but go hoarse as you shout
Life has a mind of it's own, yes, life has a mind of it's own
And is this how love starts when you finally give up
And eyes that meet like a saucer and cup
And the next thing you're acting like some little pup
Each time there's a ring on the phone
Best keep your eyes open and keep your friends near
Be sure of all of the things you hold dear
You can try to predict it, but one thing is clear
Life has a mind of it's own
'Cause just when you think you've it all figured out
Something roars in and it turns you about
And there's nothing to do but go hoarse as you shout
Life has a mind of it's own, yes, life has a mind of it's own
Life has a mind of it's own, life has a mind of it's own
