You see, I don't like thundernI can't stand the rainnAnd the wind kept coming strongnIt swept me off my feet againnAs the days were getting darker the night got so longnAnother reason to remind myself that life gets sometimes roughnnThere's a world outside this windownListen to my wordsnIt's no place for bargain or soft typesnMany fall off as wellnAnd don't be a blind fool if love comes alongnIt'll swallow and spit you out just like it did to your momnnSo don't build a bridge if you can't stand on itnDon't talk of love as you invented itnDon't say I told you so - it hurtsnThat's the way it goesnDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itnDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itnStand up straight and learn to live with itnIt's lifenThat's the way it goesnnYou see, it makes no difference whatever you donAs long as you find happiness you'll always find a way throughnAnd don't marry the first girl that comes alongnOh, I know you'll get disappointednTake it from someone who knowsnnDon't build a bridge if you can't stand on itnDon't talk of love as you invented itnDon't say I told you so - it hurtsnAnd that's the way it goesnDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itnDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itnStand up straight and learn to live with itnIt's lifenThat's the way it goesnnYou should have seen me a long time agonLiving my glory days in the sunnAnd if you can't stand it that I tell you, boynYou'll find it out for yourselfnI am only here to support younJust like a mother is supposed to donnDon't build a bridge if you can't stand on itnDon't talk of love as you invented itnDon't say I told you so - it hurtsnThat's the way it goesnDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itnDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itnStand up straight and learn to live with itnIt's lifenAnd that's the way it goes
