Daniel Lavoie - The Truth of It All lyrics

Well I had it in my mind That if I really took the time I could eventually find the truth But the truth of it all is as the years go by I don't really care if I do Oh happiness is fine if you've got the money And you've got the time Maybe join a club that gives you peace of mind Or wonder half your life If the right stars shine So you can go to heaven a healthy ninety-nine Well I had it in my mind that if I really took the time I could find the perfect girl But perfect girls are a lot like me They're not perfect every day Oh, love is fine Takes you to the moon And makes you sing the blues You never win and you never lose You're never chosen and you never choose Can't even trust myself So how can I trust you Well I had it in my mind That if I really took the time I could write a greatest song But greatest songs seem to take more than time And in the end who's to know what's great Oh writing songs is fun Couldn't tell you why wouldn't want to try Take them as they are or leave them as they come And up-and coming star or a foot tapping bum Who can take to gin when he runs out of rum
