English Beat - Ackee 1 2 3 lyrics

Cross your fingers say you're on high Pretend you're in den and see what life brings But always taking things as they come Tends to make you forget to put anything in The longer you dwell the more it's like hell You sit by the well just making a wish It would be a shame to take too much blame Look we're all the same it's only a game Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Did I just catch you laughing? Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Forward where the knocks are hardest Some to failure some to fame Never mind the cheers or hooting Keep your head and play the game Try to keep your feet on the ground Without getting them stuck in the mud You will soon be over the moon Or twice as hot as the sun Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 So cross your fingers say you're on high Pretend you're in den and see what life brings But always taking things as they come Tends to make you forget to put anything in The longer you dwell the more it's like hell You sit by the well just making a wish To make it plain I'll say it again We're all the same, it's only a game Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Did I just catch you laughing? Ackee 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Someone just smiled for no special reason It looks liken the smile's come back into season It's so easy, doesn't have to be a nice day Just the only one you've got and it's coming ready or not Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3 Ackee 1-2, 1-2-3
