Bye, bye, life goes by      Well, I go to work, my boss is a jerk   I try my best but my feelings get hurt   They treat me like dirt, the only thing worse   Is I need the money, honey      And I, I look at the news, a river of blues   I'm so confused and I'm starting to sink   I can't even think, yeah, let's have a drink   And turn up the radio baby      The world is a mess I feel like dancing   Forget all about our cares for a while   The world is a mess I feel like dancing for a little while   Yeah, that's right      We'll, pull down the shades, we've got it made   Forget all our troubles, the bills will get paid   We've got a date and doomsday can wait   And I'm tired of thinking' about it      The world is a mess I feel like dancing   Forget all about our cares for a while   The world is a mess I feel like dancing for a little while   Yeah, that's right      The world is a mess I feel like singing   Sing and be loud at the top of my voice   The world is a mess I feel like singing   High above the noise      This is the question and this is the answer   I wish that I could be some fancy dancer   I may never see you again and that's the way life goes   But time's a mighty river and you can't stop the way it flows   But if I never see you again, baby I love you   Yeah, and I just wanted you to know      Yes, I just wanted you to know   I just wanted you to know that I love you   And I just wanted you to know   Bye, bye, life goes by
