I'm famous to my friends and family
To my friends and family
I'm a household name
They all know I could've been a contender
Could've been a knee bender
at the walk of fame
But what goes up must
surely come down
Facts and figures they're a fact of life
I only wanted to be in B movies
Be kind to strangers and to call it a life
Yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
just call it a life
In my mind
I'm the world's greatest lover,
I'm the world's greatest lover,
if you close your eyes.
I am the silent type, under the covers,
under the covers,
I can't tell such lies.
But what goes up must
surely come down,
facts of biology, they're a fact of life.
I only wanted to be wanted
Have a house full of children
and a satisfied wife
Yeah, sometimes you gotta let go
of where you thought you were going
Look where you are and
just call it a night
Yeah, sometimes you go where
the river is clear
Look where you are and just call it a night
And let's call it a life
From the rockin' of the cradle
To the rollin' of the hearse
Let's call it a life
You know,
most of the time it's boredom
But sometimes it's worse
Last night I dreamed
I had a message for the masses
A message for the masses
that would set them free
I shook my tambourine
and stood on a soapbox
I stood on a soapbox and said,
be like me
Watched ghosts of much
sure to come down
Artifacts and figurines, a fact of life
I only wanted to be half crazy
And to be half happy
And to call it a life
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Do we, oh, do we, oh, oh, oh
Yeah, sometimes you gotta let go
Wait, don't you know
That we are just calling it life
Yeah, sometimes you go and they leave
Yes, we all know
That we are just calling it life
Oh, we gotta call it something
So let's just call it a life
