You can break your eggs to count your chickens
And you can break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row
But don't think every chance you take
Has to mean a new mistake
It ain't necessarily so
Now depending on the soil and the season
You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow
But you can't have a guarantee,
Cause everything that ought to be
Ain't necessarily so
I laugh when I can
I live with the rest
I learn that holding on means letting go
I try to be a friend
To the person on my left
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so
I'd like to have more faith in human logic
Basing all the rules on the proof that you could show
But I can't take my guesses back
That I based on all those facts
That ain't necessarily so
And every time I follow what I'm feeling
I end up in the same place my heart would have me go
If there's one rule of life I trust
It's everything outside your gut
Ain't necessarily so
I laugh when I can
I live with the rest
I learn that holding on means letting go
I try to be a friend
To the person on my left
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so
I laugh when I can
I live with the rest
I learn that holding on means letting go
I try to be a friend
To the person on my left
They say you just can't be too careful who you know
But that ain't necessarily so
