Bye, Bye,
life goes by.
Well I go to work,
my boss is a jerk.
I try my best,
but my feelings get hurt.
They treat me like dirt.
The only thing worse,
is I need the money honey.
And I, I look at the news,
a river of blues.
I'm so confused,
and I'm starting to sink.
I can't even think.
Yeah lets have a drink,
and turn up the radio baby!
The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
for a little while.
Yeah that's right.
We'll pull down the shades.
We've got it made.
Forget all our troubles,
The bills will get paid.
We've got a date,
and doomsday can wait.
And I'm tired of thinkin' about it.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
for a little while.
The world is a mess I feel like singing.
Sing and be loud at the top of my voice.
The world is a mess I feel like singing,
High above the noise.
This is the question,
and this is the answer.
I wish that I could be some fancy dancer.
I may never see you again,
and thats the way life goes.
But time's a mighty river,
and you can't stop the way it flows,
but if i never see you again baby I love you,
yeah and I just wanted you to know.
Yes I just wanted you to know,
I just wanted you to know,
that I love you.
And I just wanted you to know.
Bye, Bye,
Life goes by.
