Olivia Newton-John - It's Not Heaven lyrics

Here's your lunch money

You better hurry for the old school bus

Did you clean your teeth this morning

I know you hate it when I start to fuss

Here's the letter for your teacher

Your dinner's in the freezer

Five minutes in the microwave

Don't wait for me this evening

I'm probably working late

Your dad is coming over

With his new lover

And I don't wanna be around

So I'm gonna do some shopping

I'll buy you those stockings

I'll be back in half an hour

Oh it's my anticipation

There'd be a confrontation

I know how much it breaks your heart

Let's be pleased for him--he's trying

To make a brand new start

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got

You have to understand it

I wanted Ozzie and Harriet

With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion

Now we're living in reality

But we're gonna have a happy ending--you and me

We'll spend the weekend playing

I hope it won't be raining

When we go to the game with Dan

I know you think he's boring

But this time don't ignore him

Won't you give him half a chance

No he's not as fun as dad

But there's good as well as bad

In hanging on to yesterday

I'm not trying to replace him

Guess I'm really trying to say

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got

You have to understand it

I wanted Ozzie and Harriet

With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion

Now we're living in reality

But we're gonna have a happy ending--you and me

Together I know we'll survive

Rebuild our lives together

One day at a time

It's not Heaven but it's all we've got

You have to understand it

I wanted Ozzie and Harriet

With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion

Now we're living in reality

But there's gonna be a happy ending

Wait and see

Yes there's gonna be a happy ending

For you and me

You better hurry for the old school bus
