Life Of Surprises Lyrics - Prefab Sprout

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
