Song Lyrics

Bye, Bye,
Life goes by.

Well I go to work,
My boss is a jerk.
I try my best,
But my feelings get hurt.

They treat me like dirt.
The only thing worse,
Is I need the money honey.

And I, I look at the news,
A river of blues.
I'm so confused,
And I'm starting to sink.
I can't even think.
Yeah lets have a drink,
And turn up the radio baby!

The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
For a little while.

Yeah that's right.

We'll pull down the shades.
We've got it made.
Forget all our troubles,
The bills will get paid.

We've got a date,
And doomsday can wait.
And I'm tired of thinkin' about it.

The world is a mess I feel like dancing.
Forget all about our cares for a while.
The world is a mess I feel like dancing,
For a little while.

The world is a mess I feel like singing.
Sing and be loud at the top of my voice.
The world is a mess I feel like singing,
High above the noise.

This is the question,
And this is the answer.
I wish that I could be some fancy dancer.
I may never see you again,
And thats the way life goes.

But time's a mighty river,
And you can't stop the way it flows,
But if I never see you again baby I love you,
Yeah and I just wanted you to know.

Yes I just wanted you to know,
I just wanted you to know,
That I love you.
And I just wanted you to know.

Bye, Bye,
Life goes by.
