"Big Bubbles, No Troubles" lyrics - ELLIS, BEGGS & HOWARD

Well, Mary's been-a-livin' on the second floor
Now it's been three months
She can't pay the rent no more
She goes to work early in the morning
The lift don't work
No, the lift don't work no more

Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but a bubble

I wash my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, don't you ask me why

Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but trouble

Never mind if you suffer from a bleeding heart
Ain't nothing in the world gonna tear you apart (life)
I wrap my wings in cellophane afraid that I may fly away again
Big bubbles, no troubles

You can't go walk in the park after dark
'Fraid a man with a bite bigger than his bark (no, no)
You can't go walk in the park after dark
'Fraid a man with a bite bigger than his bark (no, no)

I wash my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, why do you ask me why?
Tell me now

Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Eeh, eeh

Life ain't nothing but a bubble
