ADAM GREGORY - Facts Of Life lyrics

rate me

Long ago my daddy spoke up

He said son I think you're old enough

so pull up a chair and sit down here with me

I thought I knew what was coming next

Mysteries of the opposite sex

boys and girls and birds and bees

A father son conversation

A little heart to heart advice

He said it's time you learned the facts of life

You better shoot straight and have faith

that your prayers are heard

And when you give a handshake,

make no mistake

you're giving your word

Son you'll probably get it wrong way

before you get it right

without the lows you don't appreciate the highs

These are the facts of life

They're called growing pains because they hurt

If you spit in the wind wear a dirty shirt

Don't try to talk when your mouth is full of food

When it's cold outside give a girl your coat

Be kind to folks that are growing old

'cause in their hearts they feel like fourteen too

And always tip your waitress

'cause she might have a child or two

Brush your teeth and always tell the truth

It don't make you weak to turn your cheek

for a man to cry

And always stand tall if you get it wrong

boy apologize

And if you find a love that moves you

oh you better hold on tight

You might just have one chance to get it right

These are the facts of life

And I still hold on to each word he said

and I live them now

Shoot straight and have faith

that you're prayers are heard

And when you give a handshake,

make no mistake

you're giving your word

Son you'll probably get it wrong way

before you get it right

without the lows you don't appreciate the highs

You might just have one chance to get it right

These are the facts of life

Facts of life
