i oughta' know
what it's all about
i oughta' know
no need to twist & shout

i oughta' know
sometimes you win, somtimes you lose
i oughta' know
you can't pick & choose

i oughta' know
ya' just place your bet
i oughta' know
ya' just get what ya' get

and yet
ya' can't let
it get you down
next time who knows
what will come around
only time will shows
how Life will sound

i oughta' know
about Love & Life
i oughta' know
about trouble & strife

i oughta' know
sometimes the skys or blue, sometimes they're gray
i oughta know
it changes everyday

i oughta' know
you can't change the sound
i oughta' know
sometimes it lost, sometimes it's found

i oughta' know
i've been around
i oughta' know
ya' can't let it get ya' down

i oughta' know
sometime's you don't know what to do
i oughta' know
sometimes you haven't a clue

i oughta' know
i've had my day in the sun
i oughta' know
what's done is done

ya' gotta' let it go
ya' gotta' try to grow
just never say "NO!"
ya' never know
what's in store
behind that next door

i oughta' know
no use to cry
i oughta' know
ya' gotta' live 'till you die

i oughta' know
there's always more
i oughta' know
i been there before

i oughta' know
