Day by Day

I never was a pretty girl,
I was more of a tomboy.
No invite to the party,
But I knew how to rejoice.
Never fit in the "in" crowd,
Always more on the outside.
Never noticed the light of day till I walked through the dark, cold night.

Must have been a jailbird in a former life,
'Cause a meal of bread and water suits me all right.
Must have done a whole lot of wrong,
Now I'm living the payback.
But at least I got a second chance to get on track.

CHORUS:

I'm taking it day by day, day by day,
Taking it day by day,
Day by...

Now when I was younger I was pretty spastic,
All in the name of being enthusiastic.
Had to make it through the heat wave to learn how to chill out.
I think I've finally got this living thing all figured out.

You've just gotta take it day by day...

(CHORUS)

Thought I knew true love.
Thought it burned a brilliant red,
But that was just a white lie and that fire went dead.
But I've still got my soul I keep on keeping on.
The sun keeps coming up and the world keeps spinning round day by day.

(CHORUS)
