Life Just Seems to Work Out That Way Lyrics

The first girl I had on my mind
Was tender, gentle and kind
But she didn't love me, thought she was far above me
How could I have been so blind
But I learned a lesson that day
Even though she went away
Well, I could survive; yes, I could stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Soon a new girl came along
My feelings for her were just as strong
So that girl in my past her memory faded fast
Now, baby, are you listening to my song
Now, honey, are you listening to my song
Now I know you're feeling down today
'Cause things just didn't work out your way
But, darling, you'll survive; sweetheart, you'll stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Now I know you're feeling down today
'Cause things just didn't work out your way
But, darling, you'll survive; sweetheart, you'll stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Be Yourself

I Think You're Beautiful

Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew

Tonight's the Night (Gonna Be Alright)

Hurts So Good

The first girl I had on my mind 
Was tender, gentle and kind
But she didn't love me, thought she was far above me
How could I have been so blind
But I learned a lesson that day 
Even though she went away
Well, I could survive; yes, I could stay alive
Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Life just seems to work out that way
Life just seems to work out that way

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
