Gloria Loring - The Facts of Life lyrics

You take the good You take the bad You take them both and there you have The facts of life The facts of life When the world never seems To be living up to your dreams Then suddenly you're finding out The facts of life are all about you When there's someone that you care about It really isn't fair They're out to slow you up When you're growing up When you let them flirt And then you hurt A waiting when your date is late in showing up Then you're growin' up When it's more than just the birds and the bees You need someone telling you please There's only one conclusion There will always be confusion over you It takes a lot to get 'em right When you're learning the facts of life You'll avoid a lot of damage And enjoy the fun of managing The facts of life They shed a lot of light If you hear 'em from your brother Better clear 'em with your mother Better get 'em right Call her late at night You got the future in the palm of your hand All you gotta do to get you through is understand You think you'd rather do with out You'll never muddle through Without the truth The facts of life are all about you
