lyrics
Sometimes I get a little,
Stuck in the middle of who I am and who I want to be.
I got an overactive imagination,
Sends me into contemplation ‘bout where I am and where I’m supposed to be.
He says you gotta deal with what you’re given,
This life is meant for living.
He says “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you want a little bit of happiness?”
He says “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you think it’s time to embrace this life of mine?”
Sometimes reality is harsher than I thought it’d be,
Skin is thick but never thick enough.
I wanna run, run, run away when disappointment comes my way,
Never really appreciate my luck
It doesn’t take very long,
Before my sanity is gone,
I gotta pull myself out.
This life is so very good,
I wish that only I could,
Start to ask myself,
And say “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you want a little bit of happiness?”
I said “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you think it’s time to embrace this life of mine?”
Stuck in the middle of who I am and who I want to be.
I got an overactive imagination,
Sends me into contemplation ‘bout where I am and where I’m supposed to be.
He says you gotta deal with what you’re given,
This life is meant for living.
He says “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you want a little bit of happiness?”
He says “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you think it’s time to embrace this life of mine?”
Sometimes reality is harsher than I thought it’d be,
Skin is thick but never thick enough.
I wanna run, run, run away when disappointment comes my way,
Never really appreciate my luck
It doesn’t take very long,
Before my sanity is gone,
I gotta pull myself out.
This life is so very good,
I wish that only I could,
Start to ask myself,
And say “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you want a little bit of happiness?”
I said “Do, do, do, do, do, do, do you think it’s time to embrace this life of mine?”
