Lyrics

[Intro]
Life goes on
Life goes on
Life goes on
[Verse 1]
You sucked me in and played my mind
Just like a toy, you would crank and wind
Baby, I would give 'til you wore it out
You left me lyin' in a pool of doubt
And you're still thinkin' you're the Daddy Mac
You shoulda known better, but you didn't and I can't go back
[Chorus]
Oh, life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact, once you get on board
Say goodbye 'cause you can't go back
Oh, it's a fight
And I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at is my life before me
And this feelin' that I can't go back
[PreChorus]
Life goes on
Life goes on (Got a feelin' that I can't go back)
Life goes on
[Verse 2]
Wish I knew then what I know now
You held all the cards and sold me out
Baby, shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
But you been a pretty hard case to crack
I shoulda known better, but I didn't and I can't go back
[Chorus]
Oh, life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact, once you get on board
Say goodbye 'cause you can't go back
Oh, it's a fight
And I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at is my life before me
And this feelin' that I can't go back
[PostChorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, life goes on
Na-na-na-na-na, made me strong
Oh yeah, got a feelin' that I can't go back
(Life) Life (Goes) goes on
(And it's only gonna make me strong) Ooh, yeah
(Life) Life (Goes) goes on and on and on
[Bridge]
Shame on you if you fool me once
Shame on me if you fool me twice
But you been a pretty hard case to crack
I shoulda known better, but I didn't and I can't go back
[Chorus]
Oh, life goes on
And it's only gonna make me strong
It's a fact, once you get on board
Say goodbye 'cause you can't go back
Oh, it's a fight
And I really wanna get it right
Where I'm at is my life before me
And this feelin' that I can't go back
[PostChorus]
Na-na-na-na-na, life goes on
Na-na-na-na-na, made me strong
Oh yeah (Got a feelin' that I can't go back)
Got a feelin' that I can't go back (Na-na-na-na-na, life goes on)
No, I can't go back (Na-na-na-na, it made me strong)
No, yeah, hey, yeah (Got a feelin' that I can't go back)
I gotta go now, I'm movin' on (Na-na-na-na-na, life goes on)
No turnin' back 'cause you made me strong (Na-na-na-na, it made me strong)
Oh yeah (Got a feelin' that I can't go back)
Got a feelin' that I can't go back (Na-na-na-na-na, life goes on)
No, I can't go back (Na-na-na-na, it made me strong)
No, yeah, hey, yeah (Got a feelin' that I can't go back)
