Adam Gregory - Facts Of Life lyrics

Long ago my daddy spoke up He said son I think you're old enough so pull up a chair and sit down here with me I thought I knew what was coming next Mysteries of the opposite s** boys and girls and birds and bees A father son conversation A little heart to heart advice He said it's time you learned the facts of life You better shoot straight and have faith that your prayers are heard And when you give a handshake, make no mistake you're giving your word Son you'll probably get it wrong way before you get it right without the lows you don't appreciate the highs These are the facts of life They're called growing pains because they hurt If you spit in the wind wear a dirty shirt Don't try to talk when your mouth is full of food When it's cold outside give a girl your coat Be kind to folks that are growing old 'cause in their hearts they feel like fourteen too And always tip your waitress 'cause she might have a child or two Brush your teeth and always tell the truth It don't make you weak to turn your cheek for a man to cry And always stand tall if you get it wrong boy apologize And if you find a love that moves you oh you better hold on tight You might just have one chance to get it right These are the facts of life And I still hold on to each word he said and I live them now Shoot straight and have faith that you're prayers are heard And when you give a handshake, make no mistake you're giving your word Son you'll probably get it wrong way before you get it right without the lows you don't appreciate the highs You might just have one chance to get it right These are the facts of life Facts of life
