Facts Of Life Lyrics
These are the golden yearsWhen people get what they wantAnd you can be one of them'Cause you're old enough to burnSo you earn your star--you run from the packSell the clothes from off of your backAnd you'll go far--you'll never look backYour dreams can never dieWelcome to the facts of lifeLife on the edge of town...No one could get near youBut one day you call to themWhen they find you where it hurtsYou can fall so far you never come upAll you've got is never enoughAnd just one word can make it so toughYour dreams were not so wise...You're runnin' through the facts of lifeOh you're runnin' from the facts of lifeOh you're runnin' from the facts of lifeOh you're runnin' from the facts of lifeOh you're runnin' from the facts of lifeThe first time I saw youYou were untouchableYou walked on the poet's heelsNo one could deny youNow you're lookin' for better thingsSomeone to get close toA song everybody knows...When you find out what it's worth...And you come so far you'll never turn backThe stones they throw--they roll off your backThey make it hard--you like it like thatYour dreams will never dieWhen you go so far you'll never turn backThe stones they throw--you throw 'em right backThey play so hard--you like it like thatOur dreams become our livesNo more runnin' from the facts of lifeNo more runnin' from the facts of lifeNo more runnin' from the facts of lifeNo more runnin'...No more runnin'...No more runnin' from the facts of life
