lyrics

If you need too much of a real good thing/ and you need to hit your head just to see/ how low that low can be/ then you know the reasons/ reasons why I sing

Half as bad as a little piddle puddle of ice can be/ and as sad as you're ever really gonna see me/ I'm so glad to have lightened up

To all those real bad things/ a million ways to Boston and all of them sing/ with truth, life, love and liberty/ but I'm running out of star light/ star light to see

Just how bad a little piddle puddle of ice can be/ and as sad as you're ever really gunna see me/ I'm so glad to have lightened up

If you want to make it, make it in this world/ then you gotta fake it, fake it in this world
If you want to make it, make it in this world/ then you gotta love a boy or a girl/ and care for them

Half as bad as a little piddle puddle of ice can be/ and as sad as you're ever really gonna see me/ I'm so glad to have lightened up
