Gimme an 'A' for effort
And an 'F' for freakin' out
I never said: "I'm smooth,"
An' I guess I proved that now
I sprained my knees on the jungle gym:
I was climbing in to be with you
It's times like these
I gotta cut myself some slack, Jack
An' shine on the drama conversation;
Shine on the sticky situations
If I learn to lighten up
The sun is gonna shine on me, yeah
Whoa, yeah
It might be a molehill now
But it's a mountain when I'm done, yeah
An' maybe they're tiny little problems
But I'll pile them up, one by one
So count on me to exaggerate
And to complicate what should be simple
My brain stampedes
I gotta get out of my way an say:
Shine on the drama conversation;
Shine on the sticky situations
If I learn to lighten up
The sun is gonna shine on me, yeah
Yeah
Why can't I let my worries roll, like water, off my back?
An' treat all of life's craziness like a comedy an' laugh?
Or am I gonna keep on makin' everything much harder than it is?
Don't know, no, no
Shine on
Shine on
If I learn to lighten up
The sun is gonna shine on me
(Shine on.)
The sun is gonna shine on me
(Shine on.)
The sun is gonna shine
(Shine on.)
On me someday, oh
Shine on
Hey, shine on
Oooh, shine on
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Shine on.)
Whoa, yeah
(Shine on.)
Shine on, shine on
