Well I had it in my mind
That if I really took the time
I could eventually find the truth
But the truth of it all is as the years go by
I don´t really care if I do

Oh happiness is fine if you´ve got the money
And you´ve got the time
Maybe join a club that gives you peace of mind
Or wonder half your life
If the right stars shine
So you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nine

Well I had it in my mind that if I really took the time
I could find the perfect girl
But perfect girls are a lot like me
They´re not perfect every day
Oh, love is fine
Takes you to the moon
And makes you sing the blues
You never win and you never lose
You´re never chosen and you never choose
Can´t even trust myself

So how can I trust you

Well I had it in my mind
That if I really took the time
I could write a greatest song
But greatest songs seem to take more than time
And in the end who´s to know what´s great
Oh writing songs is fun
Couldn´t tell you why wouldn´t want to try
Take them as they are or leave them as they come
And up-and coming star or a foot tapping bum
Who can take to gin when he runs out of rum
