The taxman came knockin' on my door, I said I already gave, he said he wanted some more Then my house burned down on a hot summer day, When I saw the smoke clear, didn't know what to say, But come what may, I guess I'll be ok, I can't complain Got me a broken leg, actin' like a fool, Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at They ask me any day, tell you what I say I can't complain My car's a lemom now, it's just broken down, For the 100th time, I can't get across town I never got invited to a Grammy show,
If my luck ever changes, I really don't know Ask me any day, tell you what I say, I can't complain I can't complain I can't complain, no no It's how you look at it, your attitude You can't get through life without gratitude You can always make a list of what 's going wrong, But your list of blessings will be 2 as long Don't know if this song will ever make the chart, Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart But I know for certain I can talk about the blues One thing's for sure, you know I paid my dues Ask me any day, tell you what I say, I can't complain I can't complain I can't complain, no no
