"Life Is Sweet" lyrics - MARIA MCKEE

This one is for the girl who says she's unlucky in love
You deserve to have the world at your feet
And if one person, one many could be enough
Then I wish it could be me
I wish it could be me
This one is for the boy whose daddy never had the time for him
Wish I could build you a little house for you to hide in
And give you back your summers
I'd give you back all your summers
You still have summers

[Chorus:]
Life is sweet life is sweet life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rollin' along

This one is for the girl who says those voices in her head
Never leave her alone
Don't listen to your teacher, you're not crazy
Just smarter than the rest of them
Paint a picture
Write a song
Tell your story
Bang a gong...

[Chorus]

This one is for the boy who's not allowed to be part of the gang
You don't need those losers I think you're beautiful
And you meet a girl and you fall in love and it doesn't work out
Well it won't be the first time and they don't make a cure for that
So you eat your breakfast
Read a book
Open up your window
Be alone...

[Chorus]
