Facts Of Life Lyrics - Singles - Adam Gregory

Long ago my daddy spoke up 

He said son I think you're old enough 

so pull up a chair and shit down here with me 

I thought I knew what was coming next 

Mysteries of the opposite sex 

boys and girls and birds and bees 

A father son conversation 

A little heart to heart advice 

He said it's time you learned the facts of life 

You better shoot straight and have faith 

that your prayers are heard 

And when you give a handshake, 

make no mistake 

you're giving your word 

Son you'll probably get it wrong way 

before you get it right 

without the lows you don't appreciate the highs 

These are the facts of life 

They're called growing pains because they hurt 

If you spit in the wind wear a dirty shirt 

Don't try to talk when your mouth is full of food 

When it's cold outside give a girl your coat 

Be kind to folks that are growing old 

'cause in their hearts they feel like fourteen too 

And always tip your waitress 

'cause she might have a child or two 

Brush your teeth and always tell the truth 

It don't make you weak to turn your cheek 

for a man to cry 

And always stand tall and if you get it wrong 

boy apologize 

And if you find a love that moves you 

oh you better hold on tight 

You might just have one chance to get it right 

These are the facts of life 

And still I hold on to each word he said 

and I live them now 

Shoot straight and have faith 

that you're prayers are heard 

And when you give a handshake, 

make no mistake 

you're giving your word 

Son you'll probably get it wrong way 

before you get it right 

without the lows you don't appreciate the highs 

You might just have one chance to get it right 

These are the facts of life 

Facts of life
