Well I had it in my mindThat if I really took the timeI could eventually find the truthBut the truth of it all is as the years go byI donât really care if I doOh happiness is fine if youâve got the moneyAnd youâve got the timeMaybe join a club that gives you peace of mindOr wonder half your lifeIf the right stars shineSo you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nineWell I had it in my mind that if I really took the timeI could find the perfect girlBut perfect girls are a lot like meTheyâre not perfect every dayOh, love is fineTakes you to the moonAnd makes you sing the bluesYou never win and you never loseYouâre never chosen and you never chooseCanât even trust myselfSo how can I trust youWell I had it in my mindThat if I really took the timeI could write a greatest songBut greatest songs seem to take more than timeAnd in the end whoâs to know whatâs greatOh writing songs is funCouldnât tell you why wouldnât want to tryTake them as they are or leave them as they comeAnd up-and coming star or a foot tapping bumWho can take to gin when he runs out of rum
