lyrics

Dear life,
Oh please stop teasing
It isn't funny any more.
I'm tired of tripping over,
Tired of landing on the floor

Oh I know you have to have your fun
But your jokes are wearing rather thin
Yeah fortune's is not the same for everyone
One person's pleasure is another person's pain.

Signed, sealed and shared.

Dear life,
You are uneven.
You can open up an door
But then you go an close it
I can't get through it any more.

Oh I know you have to have your fun
But your jokes are wearing rather thin
Yeah fortune's is not the same for everyone
One person's pleasure is another person's pain.

Signed, sealed and shared.

Dear life
Oh, I've got used to the feeling
Of this bumpy ride
I've had to learn to take it
And forget about my pride
But if you ever change your mind, and
Stop being so unkind
Fortune would be the same for everyone
Pleasure would be shared, there'd be no pain.

Signed, sealed and shared.
Signed, sealed and shared.
Signed, sealed and shared.
