Lyrics
Balancing Act
It's funny thing baby
You know I hear what you say
But, it don't make no sense baby
I just don't see things your way
The way you present it
Like it was a fact
I kind of resent it
'Cause life's a balancing act
Now, I want to say something baby
Are you listening to me?
Sometimes maybe's a better strategy
The way you present it
Like it was a fact
You know, I kind of resent it
'Cause life's a balancing act
You give a little here, you take a little there
You hold on tight and then you try to let go
Sometimes if feels like it's too much to bear
But, you gotta keep going, you gotta keep going
I know you don't like this
And you're not ready to budge
But, that don't matter
'Cause life will be your judge
Oh, the way you present it
Like it was a fact
You know, I kind of resent it
'Cause life's a balancing act
Life's a balancing act
You give a little here, you take a little there
You hold on tight and then you try to let go
Sometimes if feels like it's too much to bear
But, you gotta keep going, you gotta keep going
Oh yea, you know I kind of resent it
'Cause life's a balancing act
Life's a balancing act
The way you present it
Like it was a fact
You know, I kind of resent it
"Cause life's a balancing act
Life's a balancing act
