Rick Springfield - Itsalwayssomething lyrics

I look around me and i see what i wanted and what i settled for Yeah, i've got the heart of a joan of arc but the soul of a gigolo I've been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory Anytime i stopped to smell the roses they drew blood from me Do you know what i mean You never ever get away clean Oh, but it's alright Yeah, touchdown, turn around, flag on the play It's always something You know it is, it's always something It's always something, everyday, it's always something When i was a kid the teachers and the priests said, "why you let him run around like that?" My father said, "if the boy wants to play the guitar, i say we let him." Through the hard years he was my rock When i just could not win So it goes y'know my father died Just before my leaky ship came in Do you know what i mean You never ever get away clean Oh, but it's alright yeah Down one, homerun, your dog steals the ball It's always something You know it is, it's always something It's always something, everyday, it's always something It's always something... I step up to the table in the middle of my life And i take my cards and i check them twice I've got a k**er hand and i'm ready to stake my claim The cops raid the game It's always something It's always something It's always something, everyday, it's always something It's always something You know it is, it's always something It's always something, everyday, it's always something
