Carole King - Sweet Life lyrics

So you think you got the weight

Of the world on your shoulders

And it's getting too hard to bear

You feel like you're getting older and older

And nobody seems to care

It isn't what you do, it's who you know

Ain't that the way it is any more

Makes you keep on wondering

Don't it make you wonder now

What are you living for

Well, it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye

We got a sweet life, baby, why don't you take a good look around

It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down

Y'say you feel snowed under by circumstances

You can make of it what you will

You can look at the downside or take your chances

And try to make it uphill

Now you can't keep living inside your head

In a prison cell all your own

Just let yourself go, get your body out of bed

You don't have to do it all alone

Well it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye

Y'know this is real life, baby,

Why don't you take another look around

It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down

It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can stop and taste the honey

It's a sweet life, baby, it's all about the sugar

It ain't about money

It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe

You can give it another try

It's a sweet life, baby, and I'm not ready to say goodbye

It's a sweet life, baby

It's a sweet life, baby

It's a sweet life, baby
