Facts Of Life lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Facts Of Life lyrics Long ago my daddy spoke up He said son I think you re old enough so pull up a chair and sit down here with me I thought I knew what was coming next Mysteries of the opposite sex boys and girls and birds and bees A father son conversation A little heart to heart advice He said it s time you learned the facts of life You better shoot straight and have faith that your prayers are heard And when you give a handshake, make no mistake you re giving your word Son you ll probably get it wrong way before you get it right without the lows you don t appreciate the highs These are the facts of life They re called growing pains because they hurt If you spit in the wind wear a dirty shirt Don t try to talk when your mouth is full of food When it s cold outside give a girl your coat Be kind to folks that are growing old cause in their hearts they feel like fourteen too And always tip your waitress cause she might have a child or two Brush your teeth and always tell the truth It don t make you weak to turn your cheek for a man to cry And always stand tall if you get it wrong boy apologize And if you find a love that moves you oh you better hold on tight You might just have one chance to get it right These are the facts of life And I still hold on to each word he said and I live them now Shoot straight and have faith that you re prayers are heard And when you give a handshake, make no mistake you re giving your word Son you ll probably get it wrong way before you get it right without the lows you don t appreciate the highs You might just have one chance to get it right These are the facts of life Facts of life song lyrics
