Lyrics: Prefab Sprout. Life of Surprises.

You can keep the good times, righteousness
The best parting line
Rather then pretend we are A-1, ultrafine
Shall I be the first then to say what we have found?
There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
When it's even in the way that you're walkin'

Never let your conscience be harmful to your health
Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself
Just say that you were happy as happy would allow
And tell yourself that will have to do for now

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
When it's even in the way that you're walkin', baby talkin'

Never say you're bitter, Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
When it's even in the way that you're walkin', baby talkin'

Never say you're bitter Jack
Bitter makes the worst things come back

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
When it's even in the way that you're walkin'

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
It's no help growing older or wiser
You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'
When it's even in the way that you're walkin'

Darlin', it's a life of surprises
Darlin', it's a life of surprises
