You see, I don't like thunder I can't stand the rain And the wind kept coming strong It swept me off my feet again As the days were getting darker the night got so long Another reason to remind myself that life gets sometimes rough There's a world outside this window Listen to my words It's no place for bargain or soft types Many fall off as well And don't be a blind fool if love comes along It'll swallow and spit you out just like it did to your mom So don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it Don't talk of love as you invented it Don't say I told you so - it hurts That's the way it goes Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it Stand up straight and learn to live with it It's life That's the way it goes You see, it makes no difference whatever you do As long as you find happiness you'll always find a way through And don't marry the first girl that comes along Oh, I know you'll get disappointed Take it from someone who knows Don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it Don't talk of love as you invented it Don't say I told you so - it hurts And that's the way it goes Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it Stand up straight and learn to live with it It's life That's the way it goes You should have seen me a long time ago Living my glory days in the sun And if you can't stand it that I tell you, boy You'll find it out for yourself I am only here to support you Just like a mother is supposed to do Don't build a bridge if you can't stand on it Don't talk of love as you invented it Don't say I told you so - it hurts That's the way it goes Don't walk the storm if you're afraid of it Don't pick a fight if you can't handle it Stand up straight and learn to live with it It's life And that's the way it goes
