You know that life it has its ups and downs
I think I’ve only seen the downs
When you feel like you’ve been around
You become your age going on 17

I’ve been looking for the answer
To a problem that I don’t understand
I’ve resolved to let things
Just happen the way they do
Just happen the way they do
I’m blaming the truth, just like you

I’ve been alive in the Hollywood hills
I’ve been the living dead way downtown
That’s where I met the love of my live
Now she’s gone just like everything else I touch

I’ve been looking for the answer
To a problem that I don’t understand
I’ve resolved to let things
Just happen the way they do
Just happen the way they do
I’m blaming the truth, just like you

I’ve been looking for the answer
To a problem that I don’t understand
I’ve resolved to let things
Just happen the way they do
Just happen the way they do
I’m blaming the truth, just like you
