The taxman came knockin' on my door, |
|
I said I already gave, he said he wanted some more |
|
Then my house burned down on a hot summer day, |
|
When I saw the smoke clear, didn't know what to say, |
|
But come what may, I guess I'll be ok, |
|
I can't complain |
|
Got me a broken leg, actin' like a fool, |
|
Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool |
|
Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat |
|
Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at |
|
They ask me any day, tell you what I say |
|
I can't complain |
|
My car's a lemom now, it's just broken down, |
|
For the 100th time, I can't get across town |
|
I never got invited to a Grammy show, |
|
If my luck ever changes, I really don't know |
|
Ask me any day, tell you what I say, |
|
I can't complain |
|
I can't complain |
|
I can't complain, no no |
|
It's how you look at it, your attitude |
|
You can't get through life without gratitude |
|
You can always make a list of what 's going wrong, |
|
But your list of blessings will be 2 as long |
|
Don't know if this song will ever make the chart, |
|
Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart |
|
But I know for certain I can talk about the blues |
|
One thing's for sure, you know I paid my dues |
|
Ask me any day, tell you what I say, |
|
I can't complain |
|
I can't complain |
|
I can't complain, no no |
