You can keep the good times, righteousness   The best parting line   Rather then pretend we are A-1, ultrafine   Shall I be the first then to say what we have found?   There's something in our lifetime won't let us settle down      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   It's no help growing older or wiser   You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'   When it's even in the way that you're walkin'      Never let your conscience be harmful to your health   Let no neurotic impulse turn inward on itself   Just say that you were happy as happy would allow   And tell yourself that will have to do for now      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   It's no help growing older or wiser   You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'   When it's even in the way that you're walkin', baby talkin'      Never say you're bitter, Jack   Bitter makes the worst things come back      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   It's no help growing older or wiser   You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'   When it's even in the way that you're walkin', baby talkin'      Never say you're bitter Jack   Bitter makes the worst things come back      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   It's no help growing older or wiser   You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'   When it's even in the way that you're walkin'      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   It's no help growing older or wiser   You don't have to pretend you're not cryin'   When it's even in the way that you're walkin'      Darlin', it's a life of surprises   Darlin', it's a life of surprises
