lyrics

Just Makin’ It Up As We Go Along

I don’t know how to write a song
Even though I’ve been doing it my whole life long
And I don’t know how to raise a kid
But they’re grown up now, so I guess I did

And love, love’s always puzzled me
You see what you need to see to get what you want
The rules aren’t as clear as they ought to be
There’s no simple recipe
You make it up as you go

Just makin’ it up as we go along
Takin’ a punt, and hopin’ it don’t go wrong
Noone knows any better anyway
So you do what you have to do, and hope it goes okay

I don’t know if I’m good in bed
How a Cleo girl would rate me out of ten
And I don’t know if anything I say is true
When it might be just a narrow point of view

How big is the picture I choose to see?
Is it big as it needs to be?
I guess I’ll never know
The plan if there was one is history
Give me the mystery, and I’ll just go with the flow

Just makin’ it up as we go along
Takin’ a punt, and hopin’ it don’t go wrong
Noone knows any better anyway
So you do what you have to do, and hope it goes okay

Just makin’ it up as we go along
Takin’ a punt, and hopin’ it don’t go wrong
Noone knows any better anyway
So you do what you have to do, and hope it goes okay
So you do what you have to do, and hope it goes okay
