THIS IS LIFE
Billy's got his new girlfriend
And he likes her
And she really likes him
He remembers being lonely so he's wishing
She will never leave
But sometimes it's impossible to tell
And august leaves you inside out
And you're thinking
But you think what the hell
Why is this so different today
This is life
You've got to live it
No matter what anybody else says
You've got to give a damn
And it's always a matter of stand and deliver
I'm sure
Betty's thinking why this time
All the souls collected and you had to choose mine
Now I'm left standing on my own two feet
Can't you take this life and make it complete
But sometimes it's impossible to tell
And august leaves you inside out
And you're thinking
But you think what the hell
Why is this so different today
It's just life
You've got to live it
No matter what anybody else says
You've got to give a damn
And where did you come from
And where do we all go to
It's just life
You've got to live it
No matter what anybody else says
You've got to give a damn
And it's always a matter of stand and deliver
I'm sure time and time again you'll see
