I get to the party, but I'm too late

And I got stood up on my very first date

I listen to country and everybody goes rock

I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops



It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win

But here I go again



And I say

Hey that's the story of my life

I had a good plan but it didn't go right

Oh no I'm overdrawn

I check my account and the money's all gone

Why me I don't know what to think

I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks

Seems to be the story of my life



I pick a slot machine and lose it all again

But when I walk away, someone else always wins

When she finally calls me, I forget my phone

And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed



It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends the same

And here I go again



Hey that's the story of my life

I had a good plan but it didn't go right

Oh no I'm overdrawn

I check my account and the money's all gone

Why me I don't know what to think

I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks

Seems to be the story of my life



Just when it seems like it's turnin' 'round for me

There's always something that ends up happening

I found my car but I can't find my keys



I get to the party a little too late

And once again the music stops to play



Hey that's the story of my life

I had a good plan but it didn't go right

Oh no I'm overdrawn

I check my account and the money's all gone

Why me I don't know what to think

I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks

Seems to be the story of my life
