Lyrics
Isn't it funny how things keep going on going on.
Isn't it funny how things so right turn out wrong.
And here I am sitting here singing this song,
going on going on.
You said that you were leaving, I thought the moon would fall.
You said you didn't love me, I thought there'd be no sun at all,
but this morning I had to face the dawn,
and I guess things just go on going on.
Isn't it funny how things keep going on going on.
Isn't it funny how things so right turn out wrong.
And here I am sitting here singing this song,
going on going on.
I woke up this morning like I never thought I would,
fixed dinner and ate it, like I never thought I could,
and I lay down on this bed where you belong and
I guess things just go on going on.
Isn't it funny how things keep going on going on.
Isn't it funny how things so right turn out wrong.
And here I am sitting here singing this song,
going on going on.
