Billy's got his new girlfriend   And he likes her   And she really likes him   He remembers being lonely so he's wishing   She will never leave      But sometimes it's impossible to tell   And august leaves you inside out   And you're thinking   But you think what the hell   Why is this so different today      This is life   You've got to live it   No matter what anybody else says   You've got to give a damn   And it's always a matter of stand and deliver   I'm sure      Betty's thinking why this time   All the souls collected and you had to choose mine   Now I'm left standing on my own two feet   Can't you take this life and make it complete      But sometimes it's impossible to tell   And august leaves you inside out   And you're thinking   But you think what the hell   Why is this so different today      It's just life   You've got to live it   No matter what anybody else says   You've got to give a damn   And where did you come from   And where do we all go to      It's just life   You've got to live it   No matter what anybody else says   You've got to give a damn   And it's always a matter of stand and deliver   I'm sure time and time again you'll see
