CRAZY LITTLE WORLD
I was eight years old when I figured it out
You gotta water them seeds if you want ’em to sprout
Beyond all that, though, it’s outta your hands
Still you’re gonna wanna lay them best-laid plans
The years went by, and I started to grow
Skinned a few knees and stubbed a few toes
Thought I knew a little, little did I know
Then I met a pretty girl with a red felt bow
My luck got bad and my luck got good
Then she broke my heart like I knew she would
If none of it’d happened
It’d been a shame
It’s a crazy little world
But I’m glad I came
Somehow I’ve made it to the middle and I’m fully grown
And life has started pickin’ up a speed of its own
My hair gets thin while my belly gets fat
My neighbor’s tryin’ to tell me that the earth is flat
I’m so confused by what I see on the news
That I tried to keep my hands gripping at 10 and 2
But the harder I held on for dear life
Left me all broke down on the 405
My luck got bad and my luck got good
Had to fix a few things worn under the hood
If none of it’d happened, it’d been a shame
It’s a crazy little world
But I’m glad I came
One day soon, I’m gonna have to move on
I’ll prob’ly drop dead while I’m cutting the lawn
If you come down to the dead folks’ place
You’ll know me by the look on my smile-froze face
My luck got bad and my luck got good
But I wouldn’t change a minute of it if I could
It ain’t too late, friend
To see it the same
It’s a crazy little world
Aren’t you glad you came?
Aren’t you glad you came?
I’m so glad you came
