You say they're doing you wrong
That you don't belong
But you can't always get what you want
Complaining, well I'm just as frustrated
But what have you done?
Gave up before you'd begun
Been working too hard
Got nothing to show
One step at a time
Don't let go
Take it as it comes
It's all we can do
Get up and carry on
Oh Lord they keep on twisting that knife
You keep moving but you don't seem to get anywhere
Well who said that this would be fair?
Every body's trying to steer their way through this life
It don't matter who's wrong or who's right
Take the good with the bad
The smooth with the rough
You just do what you can
Hope that its good enough
Take it as it comes
It's all we can do
Get up and carry on
Take it as it comes
Got to be strong
Whatever comes along
You must believe things will turn out fine
Take it as it comes
It's all we can do
Get up and carry on
Take it as it comes
Got to be strong
Whatever comes along
(Take it as it comes) Take it as it comes
(Take it as it comes)
Take it as it comes, take it as it comes
(Take it as it, take it as it, take it as it comes)
