You take the good, you take the bad

You take them both and there you have 

The facts of life, the facts of life



There's a time you got to go 

and show your grow'n and now you know about

The facts of life, the facts of life



When the world never seems

To be living up to your dreams

And suddenly you're finding out 

The facts of life are all about you 



It takes  a lot to get them right

When your learning the facts of life



Learning the facts of life

Learning the facts of life
