Life's got a wicked way Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted Life's got such comic timing Too little too late is just the name of the game And everybody knows, it's just the way it goes You've got to do your best To protect your interests Life's got an evil way Of giving you every little thing you ever wanted Each little passing fancy, Dark and trance-y fantasy appears And tho' the moment's gone, the fleeting wish moved on It's true, you can't contest That every curse comes blessed Chant: Life's got a wicked way -- Of taking every whim and making you pay for it Watch your heart, watch your secret dreams -- You're gonna find out, honey, what secret means Come on baby make it hurt so good -- Give me what I want instead of what I should Take me, make me, it's a bumpy ride -- But it's a highway baby compared to what's inside Countermelody: YOU'VE GOT everything you wanted, every little thing YOU'VE GOT everything you wanted, don't you dare complain DON'T LOOK BACK you got to move on, with every little thing KEEP YOUR SECRETS to yourself, and every little thing... Is gonna be alright. And tho' the moment's gone, the fleeting wish moved on It's true, you can't contest That every curse comes blessed
