Mother's Word
You see, I don't like thunderI can't stand the rainAnd the wind kept coming strongIt swept me off my feet againAs the days were getting darker the night got so longAnother reason to remind myself that life gets sometimes roughThere's a world outside this windowListen to my wordsIt's no place for bargain or soft typesMany fall off as wellAnd don't be a blind fool if love comes alongIt'll swallow and spit you out just like it did to your momSo don't build a bridge if you can't stand on itDon't talk of love as you invented itDon't say I told you so - it hurtsThat's the way it goesDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itStand up straight and learn to live with itIt's lifeThat's the way it goesYou see, it makes no difference whatever you doAs long as you find happiness you'll always find a way throughSongtexteAnd don't marry the first girl that comes alongOh, I know you'll get disappointedTake it from someone who knowsDon't build a bridge if you can't stand on itDon't talk of love as you invented itDon't say I told you so - it hurtsAnd that's the way it goesDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itStand up straight and learn to live with itIt's lifeThat's the way it goesYou should have seen me a long time agoLiving my glory days in the sunAnd if you can't stand it that I tell you, boyYou'll find it out for yourselfI am only here to support youJust like a mother is supposed to doDon't build a bridge if you can't stand on itDon't talk of love as you invented itDon't say I told you so - it hurtsThat's the way it goesDon't walk the storm if you're afraid of itDon't pick a fight if you can't handle itStand up straight and learn to live with itIt's lifeAnd that's the way it goes Aus Songtexte Mania
