Lyrics
What A Mess
Verse 1
My life didn't quite turn out the way I thought it would, the way I thought it should. Instead of being on TV I watch it leisurely, while folding clothes you see. Baby crying, gotta get the kids to school before their late. I confess, what a mess, ain't it great!
Chorus
What a mess, what a mess I'm in, I couldn't live without them. What a mess, what a mess I'm in, my life is wrapped around them. If you're wondering where I've been, or why I'm always late. I confess, what a mess, ain't it great!
Verse 2
Now livin in reality, I think it's plain to see, that it was meant to be. You and I and a lullaby, the kids are growin fast, I know it's gonna last. It doesn't matter what might have been, that's up for debate. I confess, what a mess, ain't it great!
