lyrics

Verse- Best friend named mickey, got to make it last. Wish it was sixty, if I could get the cash. Kid’s got it all wrong, old lady’s on my back. I don’t need anyone.

Bridge- To get back, back, back on track, track.

Verse- A paperbag prince, the captain’s done me in. My ship is sailing, three sheets to the wind. Mom’s got it all wrong, Dad get off my back. I don’t need anyone.

Chorus- Life is a game to me, it’s not my first time. You’ve got your problems, now leave me with mine. Life is a game to me, and I’ve been here before. You stand at my threshold, but I’ll just shut the door.
