The first girl I had on my mind
Was tender, gentle and kind
But she didn't love me, thought she was far above me
How could I have been so blind
But I learned a lesson that day
Even though she went away
Well, I could survive; yes, I could stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way
Soon a new girl came along
My feelings for her were just as strong
So that girl in my past her memory faded fast
Now, baby, are you listening to my song
Now, honey, are you listening to my song
Now I know you're feeling down today
'Cause things just didn't work out your way
But, darling, you'll survive; sweetheart, you'll stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way
Now I know you're feeling down today
'Cause things just didn't work out your way
But, darling, you'll survive; sweetheart, you'll stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way
