Please don't lie to me, everytime I ask you how you're doing.
Please don't smile and say everything is fine I can't complain.
You try to persuade but i've made up mind.
I get the feeling you could use a good friend that's kind.
We all need some encouragement to get us by, we all could use a good joke to dry the tears in our eyes.
Cause everything is gonna be alright but nothing's ever gonna be ok, it's like that (it's like that).
And everything is gonna be ok but nothing's ever gonna be alright it's like that (it's like that)
Please don't try to change the subject, when I put you on the spot.
I'm gonna pry until I am satisfied, whether you like it or not.
Sometimes you just need someone to be there, who don't care about appearances.
We all need a little company to get us by, someone to hold your hand when you just need a good cry.
Cause everything is gonna be alright but nothing's ever gonna be ok, it's like that (it's like that).
And everything is gonna be ok but nothing's ever gonna be alright it's like that (it's like that).
That's life.
I know when it's time to my ma own this, I keep it real.
Count on me to tell it like it is (and how I feel).
I gotcha back (gotcha back), I'll stick out my neck (stick out my neck), I call you out(call you out), i'll keep you in check.
When I tell you everything is gonna be alright but nothing's ever gonna be ok, it's like that (it's like that).
And everything is gonna be ok but nothing's ever gonna be alright it's like that (it's like that).
That's life (yeah) that's life (yeah), keep believing
It will be alright (it's alright).
And that's all (yeah) they say (yeah), keep
Believing it will be ok it's like that.
That's life.
