You got to wash with the crocodile in the river You got to swim with the sharks in the sea Got to live with the crooked politician Trust those things that you can never see Ayeye aye-e-e-ye-e-e-e Ayeyeye You got to trust your lover when you go away Keep on believing tomorrow brings a better day Sometimes you smile while you're cryin' inside Just once you'll turn away while the truth be shining bright Ayeye aye-e-e-e-ye-e-e-e Ayeyeye Cause it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world Every day you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye Beyond the door, strange cruel beautiful years Lie waiting for you It kills me to know You won't escape loneliness Maybe you lose hope too Cause it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world Every day you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world One day when you wake up I will have to say goodbye When I hold your small body close to mine I feel weak and strong at the same time So few years to give you wings to fly Show you the stars to guide your ship by Cause it's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world One day you wake up I will have to say goodbye It's a cruel, crazy, beautiful world Every day you wake up I hope it's under a blue sky It's your life so live in it (Goodbye) It's your life so live in it (Goodbye) It's your life so live in it (Goodbye) Goodbye
