Lyrics

[Intro]
Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy (Ooh, poor)
I need no sympathy (Boy)
Because I'm easy come, easy go
Little high, little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me
To me
[Verse 1]
Mama
Just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead
Mama
Life had just begun
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
[Chorus]
Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on
As if nothing really matters
[Verse 2]
Too late
My time has come
Sends shivers down my spine
Body's aching all the time
Goodbye, everybody
I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
[Chorus]
Mama, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (Any way the wind blows)
I don't wanna die
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all
[Verse 3]
I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning
Very, very frightening me
Galileo (Galileo)
Galileo (Galileo)
Galileo, Figaro
Magnifico (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
[Verse 4]
I'm just a poor boy, nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
[Verse 5]
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
Bismillah! No
We will not let you go (Let him go)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let him go)
Bismillah! We will not let you go (Let me go)
Will not let you go (Let me go)
Never, never, never, never let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mama mia, mama mia
Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me
For me
For me
[Verse 6]
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
Oh, baby
Can't do this to me, baby
Just gotta get out
Just gotta get right outta here
[Bridge]
Ooh, yeah
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 7]
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters
To me
[Outro]
Any way the wind blows
