Well, Mary's been-a-livin' on the second floor
Now it's been three months
She can't pay the rent no more
She goes to work early in the morning
The lift don't work
No, the lift don't work no more
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
I was my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, don't you ask me why
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but trouble
Never mind if you suffer from a bleeding heart
Ain't nothing in the world gonna tear you apart (life)
I wrap my wings in cellophane afraid that I may fly away again
Big bubbles, no troubles
You can't go walking in the park after dark
Afraid there'll be a man with a bite bigger than his bark (no, no)
(2x)
I was my clothes in muddy waters
I lay myself on a plate to dry for you, baby
I feel the pain, the first incision
Baby, why do you ask me why?
Tell me now
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
Eeh, eeh
Life ain't nothing but a bubble
